Hi Jay. My Tagalog is almost zero; but I get the jist of some of your post.
I too live four hours (which I do in a little over three hours

) from nearest dealer. This drive entails a mountain crossing .
As for the remote; Sir Pogey-uy posted the reset procedure way back. I think it is hold the 'up' arrow and the '-' together for a few seconds.
Make sure the rear seats are clicked into position and the tool kit is strapped in.
Just had my 1k pms and still no smoking issues except for the third day of ownership with extended idle (20 mins). Lots of black smoke from vehicles in front of me traveling over the mountain yesterday. Even a starex emitted grey smoke overtaking

. The fortuners/hiaces are the worst though (worse than jeepneys); but I put a lot of it down to the drivers being in too high a gear. I solved these problems by zooming by them on the shortest of straights.
