Exora is the first model from Proton equipped with Body Control Module (BCM) unit from Siemens VDO. The BCM controls 24 different functions of Proton Exora electronically such as follow home lights, programmable door locking system, programmable wiper speeds, automatic hazard light during emergency braking, batery saver function to automatic dim internal light, security system, auto block door lock to disable locks in open position for 2o seconds if operated more than 30 times repeatedly, automatic door unlock when airbags are inflated, and unlocking only driver's door with remote control. The follow home function allow you to switch the headlights on within 10 minutes the engine is turned off. The headlights will remain on for 30 seconds to illuminate the dark parking areas. These are the features usually can be found in luxury car but not in the car at this price.
To save your Exora from vehicle theft, immobiliser has been embedded into the key transmitter. The engine will not start without the actual key. If a thief try to start the key with unmatched keys or screwdriver, they key cylinder will keep rotating. Alarm system in Exora is able to keep alarm history and will be able to warn owner if there is an break in attempt.
I think Proton really did their homework and listen to customer needs rather than producing something just to fill the line-up.
