2011 KIA Sportage (GEN 3)

[peejabi]

Ganyan din sa akin sir. Walang lamig sa first 2 blue bars.

I was disappointed with the Huper Optik people this morning. Usapan namin 8am because may lakad ako ng 12pm. I arrived a little after 8am, pero nasimulan na nila ng 9am. I asked them what time matatapos, sabi nila 2-3pm pa daw kasi late darating yung isang tint installer.

So pumunta na lang ako sa Seatmate. Iniisip ko baka V-Kool na lang because of what happened this morning.

[blooperoo]

Pls clarify blooperoo. You mean if your selector is placed on the 2nd (or 3rd, or even 4th) blue bar from the left, malamig pa din? The air only starts getting warm when you put the selector over the red bars?

Just to be clear: the air at this pictured setting is already cool, since the selector is already 1 click counterclockwise on the longest blue bar. But if I put it in between the 1st and 2nd bar (from the left), wala nang lamig. Normal temp lang.

I had to double check and went down and tried it on the 3rd and 4th blue bar. I can still feel cool air and I can hear the compressor engage but this would not be enough pag ma araw. I did try the AC while driving with the setting on the 2nd blue bar and it is still cool (not cold) but I have to set the fan speed at 2 to compensate.

I did notice that the jump (in terms of cold air) from your pic to another click to the left is big.

I also noticed nung kinuha namin sa casa si sporty that when I turned the ACU setting to a lower temp, namatay yung recirculate switch pero after 2-3 tries at a lower temp setting (2nd blue bar) the recirculate switch is always on pag nag AC na. Inisip ko na lang the thing adjusted to my preferred setting.

Ako, almost 7 months na, 7622 Kms na.

Question about the AC control knob:



The way it appears, I would think that putting the selector at 12 o'clock position (between blue and red bars) would give out normal room temperature, neither hot nor cold. But for my Sportage, that position is between the left-most (longest) blue bar, and the one next to it (next longest). If I move it one click counterclockwise, lalamig na ang air. If I move it one click clockwise, warm air comes out. Para tuloy ang ikli lang ng range for cold air control. I asked Kia Las Pinas about this, and they say it is normal. Can you guys pls check out your units and share your findings? Thanks in advance!

Yup, its the same with my sporty, its like having only 2 options, cold and not cold

Ganyan din experience ko. I was thinking at the 1st two blue bars may specific cold temp setting na siya. And when comparing cabin temp with the aircon temp setting mas malamig ang cabin temp kaya medyo warm air ang lalabas to equalize.

BTW i had my 1st PMS at kia pasay. Good service, also had my door locks programmed to speed sensing.

Guys may bago akong "upgrade" kay Sporty. Sobrang babaw lang! Hehe. For maximizing the available space in the glove box (tama ba yung term ko?). Naguguluhan kasi ako dahil patong patong lang yung mga gamit.







Halos perfect fit sya. 80 pesos lang isa sa Ace Hardware.

sir, san nyo po pinagawa yung seat cover niyo? perfect fit po ba? and magkano rin? any more pics? thanks

[allenjo]

Peejabi...thanks for the close ups bro. Excited na ko dumating yung wheel caps. 1 week na lang for pick ko na daw sya yes!!!

[allenjo]

Cancelled the reservation with Kia Acropolis. Their sales agent em de asis is hard to deal with. Panay commit tapos tatawag the next day di na puwede. Kaya kung meron sa inyo mapagawi dyan, dont deal with her..l.sasakit lang ulo ninyo. Got a better deal with kia cubao and my color preference was readily available (mineral silver) so i shifted na lang.

[Whiteysporty]

Nice one Sir Peejabi.

[bosjef]

Thank you sirs..

may maririnig ka namang warning sound pag nakaengage pa yung foot brake tapos nag-aapply ka ng gas. parang tunog pag di ka nakaseat belt.

Hi mga ka-sporty,

Thanks to all who gave their inputs and answered my questions in this thread.

Special thanks to dockiks who pointed me to the right direction. Who would have thought that we'll see each other in las pinas branch. Salamat dok!

I finally got my unit last Monday and I'm a happy camper!


I read somewhere in this thread that small guys may have issues with the seat adjustment. I'm 5"2' but I was able to drive comfortably with the seat height adjusted to max settings :D

I'm planning to have my tints installed in Makati. Naka promo sila ngayun:
Tint Your Ride Promo

[jaymd]

ok yan basta di vkool.

[bosjef]

Ah that's good to know. Good choice talaga ang Sportage for a CUV. Hopefully magkaroon ng magandang promo by December.

[wahzai_swy]

May warning reminder buzzer pa siya pag di pa release ang footbrake at tumatakbo ka na so less chance mag burn out ang parking brake.

[Whiteysporty]

Ilan na kaya tayo na Sporatge Owner dito? Wala bang Christmas party?hehehe.

[Whiteysporty]

Congrats Sir Bosjef, gwapo ng ride mo..enjoy ur Sporty.
