crosswind xto-use of turning knob just below the power side mirror control

[willsmith]

i notice a turning knob (rounded the size of a 5-peso coin) just below the power side mirror control, located just above the left knee with directional marking clockwise and counter clockwise. for what purpose it is? how do or should i ever touch it?

[xer]

sir it's for the throttle cable, nakalimutan ko na tawag pero mga old school na diesel rides meron nito. Karaniwang gamit is kapag nagpapainit ka ng makina at kailangang tapakan iyung accelerator pedal, instead na apakan mo pedal, iyung knob ang mag hohold sa level ng pedal na gusto mo.

idle up .. since your diesel engine is not equipped with IACV that automatically controls engine idle after start-up, you should manually turn that knob to raise your RPM until your engine reaches normal operating temp.. its purpose is to avoid erratic engine idling which results to excessive vibration and too much diesel fuel in the engine resulting to smoke (unburned diesel)

if your engine idles normally after start-up there is no need to turn the knob

Dad used the idle-up knob as a "cruise control" on his XUV...

yapoy said it clear though i almost forgot i have one too

Hahaha... I thought I was the only one.

pwede din gamitin yan pagtawid sa baha, alalay ka lang sa brakes and clutch

ginagamit ko din poor man's cruise control sa highway driving. medyo alalay din sa brakes saka dapat mabilis ka mag ikot pag kelangan mo mag full stop heheheh

[wham_10mbps]

hahaha! leme second to that poormans cruise control... akala ko dati choke knob ang tawag dyan... anyways ... gamit ko din yan sa freeway ... sabay ikot ng mabilis pag may trike na sa harap ...

ah, ok. tnx much for the replies. akala ko yun ang heater kasi wala heater crosswind

yun ang maganda sa 4ja-1, walang glow plugs kaya tipid sa oras at battery

have a question, ang max ba going clockwise? should i put it in min. while driving? sabi kc sa manual choke raw toh pang cold start, balik raw ulit pag patatakbuhin na. dba mas malakas sa fuel pag nakachoke?

[sixgun]

Does this mean na dapat pag pinihit mo pakanan, dapat tataas ng konti yung rev sa meter? tnx

[roberto_minosa]

Yep, clockwise ang paghigpit. Pero idle up knob lang yata yun, hindi choke. Kaya ayun, tumataas ang RPM pag pinihit.

[sboogie]

you can think of it as an accelerator but by hand

There is no indicator to determine it's "minimum" and "maximum". When you turn it counter clockwise and it feels "loosen up", that should be enough to let you know it's in "minimum".

The "choke knob" is available since the Crosswind isn't equipped with an ECU, unlike the Trooper, D-Max and Alterra -- wherein the throttle cannot be adjusted manually. It's pre-adjusted and would only be monitored using a Tech-2 device. (which all authorized ISUZU dealers have)

Yeah, it can also be considered a "poor mans cruise control" but quite frankly, in the 5-6 years I've used my XTO and XUVi, I never saw the need to use it. -- unless, I wanted to go on "cruise control"...

we use that knob para bumilis pag-warm up ng makina, pag cold start kase nasa mga 500rpm lang yung idle eh masyado na nginig ng makina..

btw, dati pagpihit namin clockwise nataas na yung idle, pero pinatingin namin sa isuzu commonwealth itong knob nung hindi na sya tumataas every pihit namin. yun pala kelangan sabayan ng tapak sa gas para sha tumaas, weird ehehhe.

OT: sobrang taas ng ramp leading to Isuzu commonwealth's service area, namatayan pa ko ng makina hindi ko natantya hanging ko sa 1st try. kakahiya ehehhe

Idle should still go up even without simultaneously stepping on the gas pedal. One fact thou, it's easier to adjust the increase in idle if you simultaneously do step on the gas pedal and turn the choke knob clockwise.

sirs newbie lang kasi ako. i was familiarizing myself by tinkering with the things inside my XTO. until i've noticed this little "knob". figuring out what it is, i turned it clockwise while the engine's still off. when i started the engine, it seemed to vibrate rigorously than the usual. haven't figured out that the vibration was caused by that knob until i read this thread.
sirs can i turn it to counter clockwise and return the knob back to its former position and should i really start the engine before doing so?
hoping i haven't done any harm with my XTO or to it's performance.
salamat sa sagot!

I see no problem if you do this.
