2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[_roksan_]

Would appreciate your comments:
1. The foot brake has three degrees of intensity?
2. There's a beeping sound "sometimes" when i turn off the engine and open the door.
3. On full stop, brakes "seem" not to disengage when released when shift stick is on D already.

I'll check with KIA pasong tamo tom. TIA!

Pag FC ang concern mo, 4x2 na lang, if not go with 4x4.

*SG .... i now know why mas madilim tint mo sa santa fe

Hahaha. pwera biro, kotse ng bayan yun kaya mahirap nang makilala kung sino gumagamit.

WOW! Thanks!!!! I learned a lot from all your replies...

Pero napa-isip ulit ako. Mas okay na meron ka 4WD system kahit di mo kailangan kesa wala pag dumating yung panahon na kailangan mo.

Kasi yung difference naman sa FC hindi nalalayo eh, Nasa 1km/L lang dapat.

Nice! Nice excuse bro. Pwede ka na di tumuloy sa presinto ;)

Hope I'm not opening up a can of worms here, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic, pero aside from the peace of mind, how helpful or capable is the 4WD system on the Tucson/Sportage? It's not as hardcore as a Vitara/Jimny coz those have their dedicated transfer cases, but then how big a help is it really? Is it similar to the CR-V's?

The foot brake just like traditional hand brake, you can engage it fully, or just engage it lightly, may be this is what you refer to degree of intensity.

Is the beep sound a reminder for your sunroof left open? Its depend on the setting of the car, our KDM unit beep once when all door are close and lock, several beeps when the smart key is left in the car and lock using the door handle button, no beep when door/sunroof is not close properly.

Your full stop observation may related to the Dynamax 4x4 system, can't comment since mine is 4x2

...Mahirap din pala yan sa local unit, alam agad ng tao naka on ang engine mo pag naka park ka kasi naka on the DRL lalo sa gabi o sa madilim na lugar .... :naughty2:

I agree. It's a small security issue for me, not being able to discreetly keep the engine running without alerting anybody you're inside. Plus di pwedeng stalker mode :badboy:

1. Are you talking about the number of clicks until it's fully engage? I believe it's 7-8 clicks.
2. Did you remove the key from the key hole before you opened the door?
3. Sounds like your brakes are sticking. You maybe need to wear it out a bit, since it's new.

Thanks wahzai_swy and IceT! I wasnt able to call KIA today...hectic sa office...but thank you guys for the heads up...at least its nice to know that my Beki is ok (km to date is 920) except for the beeping sound...will try to check tomorrow what triggers it.

I thought the steering wheel is telescopic on the AWD...fails...or is it di ko lang alam galawin...

1. well kinda but its more on the locking which is about every 1/3, from its fully engaged state.
2. do you mean the remote from the slot inside the consul box? yes i think i turned it off then pulled out the remote from the slot. I'll check tomorrow.
3. Sticking brakes - nothing major is it?

thanks again!

Ok i got the brake intensity being like a handbrake...
The sunroof is always close *too hot * maybe yes the smart key...ill check it out tom.

Is the AWD equipt with Immobilizer? How does this work?

Hahaha. Kaming lahat gumagamit nung SF kasi. Yung Tucson most of the time ako lang may gamit.

Anyway, yung sa Tucson / Sportage parang 4WD system lang ng CR-V. Pang inclined terrains lang at better traction. Yan ang pagkaka-alam ko. Hehe.

1. Sir wahzai_swy explained it better. It works the same way as a handbrake.
2. Yes, that's right, I meant the remote in the consul box. I forgot you have the AWD.
3. Maybe I used the wrong word. It's not sticking, but rather the brakes are noisy. They said it's due to the brake pad used. Mine was noisy too in the start. The noise went away in time.

Its not only AWD, may EX and Limited din....Limited AWD ki _roksan_ heavy....

*_roksan_ , you don't have to put your remote in the consul box, just inside your pocket or bag will do. Only time you have to place it in the slot inside the consul box is when you can't start your car due to poor battery inside the remote.

I think you got the immobilizer, its a transmitter inside the remote/smart key working together with the alarm and ECU, when the engine started, it check for the presence of this transmitter, if he can not find any, the vehicle should automatically shut off the engine. But this only happen during starting, when the engine have started and running, even with the smart key taken out far from the vehicle, the engine will not shut down itself.

Hahaha according to the SR the remote recharges when placed in the consul box slot. *toink* hay kaya this thread is way way credible than the info I get from SR's

Thanks thanks again...:grouphugg:

Haha, people here at tsikot knows more than what they are selling and most important don't tell lies or make empty promises :peace: They can say putting the smart key in the slot will reduce the battery consumption since the transmitter is at nearest to the receiving sensor, but recharging an ordinary Panasonic CR2032 3V cell battery WIRELESSLY??? hard to believe

[IceT]

Hahaha. That's true, because I didn't see any contact point inside that console box for it be charged. In addition, I believe these batteries are non-chargeable by design. What people will say just to make a "sale".

Mga sir, question lang po. Which is better to use high octane Euro 2 gas or regular Euro 4 gas?

Ah ok. Thanks for the info Bro.
