2010 Chevrolet Cruze!

correct.

sports mode is like driving a manual less the clutch pedal. no need to release the accelerator if you want to switch between +/-.

Idagdag ko pa bro, sa Sports mode, di ka mag-alala na mag-overRPM ka, unlike sa manual....auto siyang magchange gear kapag di ka nagshift ng gear mo...(of course hanggang sa available gear lang yan-sa last gear, nasa driver na kung i-over-RPM nya ang sasakyan...)

Hello again, another noob question first time ko pa lang kasi nag drive ng AT (hehehe sarap pla) just want to know kung ano ang proper way ng pag-gamit ng sports mode (+/-) not sure kung tama tawag ko hehe, ok lang ba to change from AT to (+/-) kahit anong speed or kelangang mag stop ka muna or mag slow down? Kung mag change gear naman ako (+/-) dapat ba na i-release ko muna yung gas? hindi ko alam bakit pero nung nag test drive kasi ako, napansin ko na bukod sa ilang beses nag hanap ng clutch ang paa ko every time mag shift ako ng gear e hindi ko rin na tatangal yung pag apak ko sa gas, kung nasa half yung gas pedal then nag up/down shift ako same lang din yung lubog ng paa ko hehehe nakakasira ba to? and any info on the DO's and DONT's when driving an AT and or (+/-) mode hehehe, na approved na kasi ni wifey ang budget for the cruze and may good news pang dumating from awallit, ganda ng offer nya hehehe cant wait to tell my wifey about hes offer for sure go na go na kami hehehe! So I want to make sure I wont dmg our very first BNew car :D

Hi, what color and model of cruze did you prefer sir?
About your questions. Its safe to shift/change your gear when it comes to shifting from 'D'rive to the +/- mode already whenever your moving or at full stop. But not in 'R'everse where you have to do a full stop to engage it.

When using the sport mode +/-, just take care of it like the manual tranny..
You can up-shift or down-shift it with or without your foot on the gas pedal. And the good thing is that, whenever you forget to up/down-shift your gear, it just gonna shift it self up/down to avoid stressing your engine..

Just always check and take care of your A/T transmission by checking your engine oil and your ATF to avoid BIG problems.

talaga? wierd...

ok, this is base on my santa fe (sold) which has the same type of transmission as of the CRUZE.

if you're using the manual mode or sports mode, the transmission wont shift to next higher gear unless done by the driver. however, the transmission will shift to next lower gear (automatic) if engine speed becomes low and could compensate the actual speed that the car is cruising...

Sharks Fin antennas....kaya maraming nagpapalit from stocks into it...bukod sa mahirap alisin, astig pa ang dating...

Yup.. Indeed! Maybe ill have the bmw fin antenna style..

Me nag-advice sa akin na expert sa Auto tranny, sa first service ng Tranny, make it * 35K km.

Yung kasunod na servicing, as usual na...

Ano sa palagay nyo?

Sa akin, sundin ko ang payo nya.....

It does.. Its for the safety reasons incase you forget to shift it down or up whenever your going fast or slowing down..

di mo ako nagets bro, suppose nasa 6kto 7k RPM ka na at ayaw mo pa magchange gear at delikado ka na sa redline, siya mismo ang magchange gear para sa iyo...yan ang isang safety feature ng sasakyan ngayon....

Ewan ko lang sa Cruze, sa Kia Forte ko ay ganyan.... (sa panahon ngayon-halos parepareho na sila)

[SiC]

*Chadzxp2:
Don't worry so much on how the transmission will react on when to shift it up or down. Because Cruze has this Driving recognition where it will remember your driving pattern.. Incase you want to be on economic driving or the aggressive part that is..

so where's the point of being sports mode when the ecu commands the gear to shift if it sense high rpm? they should leave that in normal P,R,N,D. no more +/-.

ok, i could not dissect this problem without having this cruze on my garage. i will find out that next week...

As they said. Thats one of their standard safety features of Cruze..

Iba na talaga ngayon bro, isipin ba natin na Korean sedans ay may start-stop button na usually sa Luxury cars lang meron????

Halimbawa noob ako sa manibela at naipasok ko sa Sports mode ang kambiyo, di ko alam kung paano kambiyuhin ang up and down basta naipasok ko siya sa Sports mode, bahala na si batman...

ano mangyayari kung walang safety features? sabog ang makina!!!!

e bakit pa imbentuhin ang Sportsmode kung di pala safe? sana purely automatic tranny lang siya gaya ng mga lumang modelo...

Walang masama sa palitan ng kurro kuro, para sa ating lahat ito mga sweet lovers.....

Not only high RPM bro, Extra High RPM.....yun bang nasa pulang guhit na.na maski sa manual tranny ay ayaw nating gawin.....

di lang sa cruze available yang safety features na yan bro, karamihan sa mga bagong labas na sasakyan ngayon kasama yan.........

[desert fox]

Idagdag ko pa, kapag nasa sports mode ka at ang gear mo ay nasa higher(ika4 or 5 gears) at nasa rekta ka....120 or above.....at biglang kailangan mong magpreno at huminto, nothing to worry about shifting your gear pababa, kusa siyang bababa....kapag fully stop ka na, balik siya sa gear#1.....

You said it right..

Mostly pati nga yun small car ng Nissan 'March' comming this year has a Start/Stop button.. hehe Cute car that can compete against the Spark and fiesta and any other small compact car.

using the TAPShift/sport mode of the cruze is just like pushing your gear to get more power by not fully stepping on the gas pedal.. For ex. when overtaking and engine brake, it avoids the red line by shifting your gear up or down automatically when engage in sport mode..

Never on my part sir.. You can check some previous posting by other members on this forum. Because I think some cruze owner experienced the same thing as you do..

thanks sir sic

[tougefox]

thanks sir sic

esmic, normal lang yan.. hindi kasi totally nakasara yung vent ng aircon kahit naka re-circulate yung vent..

dont worry to much, enjoy your cruze, and cruze around hehe
