Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[ghost recon]

saka santa fe natin kahit sini-switch off mo na makina to first key position, puwede pa din paganahin power windows but a period of time lang

i think this feature is common already. my strada has the same feature also.

Sir Tidus, did you see these features sa manual?

Yes its in the manual and I have verified and tested this myself...

This is true because when i forgot to remove the footbrake while going already at 20kph, the alarm sounded.

As for the automatic parklight off, i tried this but mine seem to be not working, does it have something to do with my HID upgrade?

hehehe nope. but it depends how your electrician wired it.

hid's only utilize (in most cases) the circuit going to your low beam head light and that's it!

pa-check mo na lang sir.

Yep mas maganda pa Santa Fe natin kasi auto-off nga sya unlike sa mga ibang cars buzzer lang. Eh maskin may buzzer pero if you ignore it the batteries are still drain pero satin maskin you ignore it the car will close it automatically in a few minutes if the key is not in the ignition.

Eto po observation ko sa SF ko:

1.) If no key is inserted, only parklights work, headlights will not turn on.
2.) Upon shut-off of engine with headlights on, the headlights will turn off. Once you open the door, the parklights will turn off.
3.) The domelights does not turn off when using the "ON" switch, even when locked from remote.
4.) And when using "DOOR" switch, it only turns off after I lock it with alarm.

Medyo wierd behaviour nung domelights...

don't forget to post the dyno results. This is exciting kung totoo. Tanggalin nalang muna everytime magpa service sa casa.

walang dyno dito sa amin sir. i hope meron para ma-prove din natin yong claims nila.

my way to test this is just to feel the changes hehehe. kabisado ko na man SF ko.

Guys my wife told me that may naririnig daw syang kalabog kapag nalulubak.
She's not sure kung front suspension but I think sa harapan yun galing. I notice it before sa front right galing ang "thud". 4 passenger lang sila with 2 kids on board. Meron na ba naka experience nito? Anu ginawa ninyo?

Thanks in advance

Had same experience... front-right suspension pag nalulubak.
Sent it back to casa, they test drove then sabi kelangan retightening.
Afterwards, perfect na sya ulit... No extra fee, charge to warranty.

Excuse me if ever ignorante sa AT car. My wife is complaining about the smell coming from my SF after using. Naamoy daw nya once nasa labas na sya ng SF, and coming from the front wheels daw(she's guessing).
My SF is only 4 day old, so I'm a bit worried about what causing the smell.

I'm also guessing here.
1) Is this from transmission.
2) Or from break pads.

I'm seeking for your advice fellow SF owners before I ask her to take it to the dealer.

Thanks.

BTW, I noticed that my suspension has improved since the last time. Sabi sakin, magiimprove pa raw talga ang suspension after a few months kasi matigas pa sya sa una. But still contemplating in getting an aftermarket springs/shocks... maybe TEIN, Bilstein. Nakasakay kasi ako sa SF na naka TEIN, bale wala ang humps...
