#176 of 179 Engine Ping on matrix 09 by yellowmatrix09 Jul 05, 2009 (1:13 am)
Does any 09 matrix fwd owner have any experience with an engine ping or knock in their cars? I had only run 18,000 km or about 11,000 miles. Nothing comes out in the computer diagnostics of my dealer. I suspect this ping was already present earlier when I bought the car in May of 2008. It's because beginning in the fall and in the winter all my windows are rolled up and I was only able to hear it during the start of the warm weather in '09 when my windows are rolled down. I sometimes pass through bridges or places where there are walls on the passenger side. This is where you are going to hear it prominently.
#177 of 179 Driving with Automatic Transmission at Neutral by grey09 Aug 29, 2009 (5:38 pm)
I have a 2009 1.8L matrix, when I am about to stop, may I put the auto transmission to neutral? I found by doing this the braking distance is shorter. But I heard I am not supposed to do so, coz this will damage the transmission. Thanks.
#178 of 179 Floor Mats Set by cdcooker Sep 02, 2009 (2:07 pm)
I just got a new 2009 Matrix Base. It has the dealer added option of Floor Mats Set, $199 value. It includes four floor mats and one cargo mat. Only the cargo mat looks unlike the OEM mat to me. It doesn't have the embroidered Matrix logo, and it is not fully extended to the slots between the wheel wells and rear end. The material is not the same as the floor mats. It does have cut out for the tie-down hooks tough. I want to ask other 2009 Matrix Base buyers whether you get this same cargo mat as me. I assume the OEM Matrix cargo mat has the embroidered logo and fully covering the cargo floor, like this one:   http://www.toyotapartsstore.com/images/09matrixcargomat.jpg   Also, on page 255 and 257 of the owner's manual, it mentions a tie-down belts and tonneau cover bag. Does Matrix Base comes with these two accessories?   Thanks Replies to this message: circuitsmith (Sep 04, 2009 11:48 am)

Replying to: cdcooker (Sep 02, 2009 2:07 pm) The tie-down belts etc. are in plastic bags down where the spare tire is.   I found two inexpensive rubber-backed rugs from Wal-Mart for the cargo area ~$20. I don't care about logos.
