how to overtake using Crosswind AT

[willvill]

I have recently owned an xto 2002 AT.

I seem to have some difficulty in overtaking some vehicles especially big trucks in the highway.

Can our fellow Crosswind AT owners share their experiences on how to deal with this difficulty of mine?

I am at home with my MT L200 and my Honda City 2004 cvt as far as overtaking is concerned.

Sir try deactivating overdrive which limits your gears up to the 3rd only. I'm assuming kapag highway abot na agad sa 4th gear yan so turning OD will downshift to 3rd to get more grunt for overtaking.

How to overtake in an automatic Crosswind?

Step 1. Wait for an opening in traffic of about 400 meters or at least twenty to thirty seconds long (the interval between the car that's passing you and the next car coming from the opposite direction).

Step 2. Overtake.

Easy!

Just remember... it takes an automatic Crosswind about thirty to thirty five seconds to hit 100 km/h from 0 km/h... and about ten seconds of that are in the interval between 80 km/h and 100 km/h. So... if the truck in front of you is already going 80... forget about it... :hysterical:

Sir WillVill,

Mahina talaga AT crosswind.. Yung crosswind ng dad ng girlfriend ko,pagoovertake and medyo alanganin ang pagovertake ay inooff nya ang aircon..

I agree with noobskie. You turn off your O/D to provide you the extra momentum. This limits your tranny to 3rd gear..... then when in the clear, click back to turn on the O/D.

But as the guys said too, overtaking on a 4JA1 AT is a challenge... and a risk. A risk I would not dare you to try. When in doubt, don't!

Thanks sirs for the replies.

I am experimenting on turning off the OD when overtaking.
This might be my best recourse.

This is good advice.

If it does not look safe, do not push your luck.

Ganon ba talaga kabagal ang 4ja1? how bout MANUAL?

pwede mo iredline sa kahit anong gear kung manual, kaya medyo mas madali

tama. compared sa ibang 2.5Ddi, pansin ko mejo mabagal talaga ang 4ja1. tibay lang ba talaga ang advantage nito?

Yeah, and easy maintenance. A lot are clamoring for the 4JK1-TC to be slapped on the Crosswind. Question is: Are you willing to pay the price? Price of unit acquisition and price of maintenance.

Compare notes. Ask those who own a CRDI unit. Ask them the cost of maintenance... say, for a 5,000 kms check-up. Compare this to that of the Crosswind. Not to mention, if you unexpectedly need to fix your vehicle withou a CASA anywhere near, any Tom, Dick and Harry who knows how to do diesel engines can do a Crosswind. CRDI? Maybe but do they have the gadget needed.

Teka, OT na ako. Hehehe! Bottomline, M/T Crosswinds are easier to manage when overtaking. A/T would need proper timing and B-A-L-L-S.

kabisado ko na kasi kung magsishift na yung gear ng ko, isinasakto ko doon sasbayan ko ng diin kapag parang hirap bawas uli tapos diin ng todo kpag naramdaman ko un gain

[vhazon]

mahina naman sa takbuhan ang revo compare sa crosswind.....
crosswind A/T ang kabayo, kalabaw ang revo,, nasabi ko po yun kc may revo po ang sasakyan ng kuya ko SR 04 timing lang talaga. kahit galing full stop lamang parin para sakin ang crosswind A/T..

[raspberryglace]

mag-5am na tawa pa din ako ng tawa reading this whole 7-page thread... as in humahagalpak ako ng tawa sa comparison ng crosswind with a kalabaw na ang kaya lang i-overtake eh tricycle.

can relate po kasi kami dahil from a M/T kia picanto 2008 nag-crosswind xto 2001 A/T kami... at talagang nanibago kami kasi parang kulang nga po ang hatak ng xwind at maski sa paakyat/paahon eh medyo hirap (dapat pala naka-off ang O/D... kanina lang namin na-diskubre).

dati sa manual na picanto parang nabibilisan na ako sa 40kph na takbo ko pag naghahatid ako ng anak ko sa school, at ramdam ko agad ang response ng makina at brake... 'magaan' din i-drive kahit manual kasi siguro dahil nga maliit lang.

itong xwind mas okay i-drive para saken kasi A/T... pero parang ang bigat at parang mabagal pa din kahit 40khp na pala ako. tama naman siguro yung speedometer ko. hehehe.

hindi ko talaga problema itong paano mag-overtake kasi hindi ko talaga hobby mag-overtake unless tricycle nga siguro na super bagal pa kesa saken, pero tawa talaga ako ng tawa nung nagbabasa ako.

OT: Bros,- ingat lang kayong mga naka-Crosswind/Sportivo sa intersection of C5 at Kalayaan. Last Saturday morning, dumaan kami roon at pinapara ang mga sasakyan for Emission Testing. Mukhang target ang mga Isuzu, lalo na ang Crosswind dahil pati Crosswind na ang plaka ay Pxx-xxx (2010 model) ay nakaparada na at mukhang bumagsak/pinabagsak ng mga m*k*ng sa emission test.... There are at least a couple more Crosswinds na naka-park... Iwasan ninyo itong intersection.....

This place is noted sa pango ngotong sa mga naka diesel na sasakyan. Talagang dina anan ko itong lugar na ito using my Crosswind XTO to see how they check yung emission, unfotunately wala yung mga goons doon. Check ko kung papaano nila pababagsakin sa test yung sa akin.
