2012 Montero Sport Owners

[dAnswer_03]

sir mas mainam siguro before you shift to a gear like reverse or drive, firm apak niyo sa preno para wala kang maexperience na kakaibang kadyot... i have also noticed that kaya that became a habit of mine when changing gears to reverse or drive...

sa cruise control sir, once na-on mo na, tumakbo ka ng desired speed mo na gusto mo i-maintain... then press COAST SET... kung ano yung current speed mo once you press that yun ang mamaintain na speed, pede mo na bitawan yung acceleration pedal... once na activated na yung naset mong speed pede ka pa din mag-accelerate kung kinakailangan, pag binitawan mo acceleration pedel bababa siya sa sinet mong speed... to turn it off pede mo ipress ulit yung COAST SET pag bigla mo kelanganin magbagal or magbilis ng takbo or pepreno ka konti para bumaba ka sa sinet mong speed... madedeactivate na siya pero naka-on pa din cruise control, hindi lang activated ang set speed... yung ACC SET naman para halimbawa nakapag-COAST SET ka na ng speed mo then nagbagal ko so na-deactivate lang yung set speed mo, when you press ACC SET, kahit without stepping on the gas pedal, mag-aaccelerate siya sa speed na sinet mo... de-activate ACC SET by pressing it again or COAST SET or slightly braking para bumaba sa set speed... everything can also be turned off by simply pressing the on/off to deactivate cruise control... pero once naka-off na yung cruise control pati sa indicator sa dash, wala na yung sinet mong speed pag tinurn-on mo siya ulit... magseset ka ulit...
not advisable for city driving but very useful sa expressways natin like nlex, sctex, slex, etc... basta clear traffic ang expressway...
anyways, these are all just based on my experience using it sir and thinking of sharing it... nakakatulong siya sa mga long drives talaga... hehehe...

Sir OB Free, maraming salamat.. hehehehe.. sarap gamiten yung Cruise Control, everyday kasi ko nag SLex going to work from home.. pwede na nga mag indian seat. :D hehehe.. salamat ng marami tlaga.. :D

Nung nag pa 1K km PMS ako sir sinabi ko lng sa SA, d ko alam kng anu ginawa nila pero after the PMS nawala na yng "kadyot", I guess yng query mo sa cruise control nasagot na. Regarding dun sa "hatak" pansin ko kng medyo spirited driving mode ka nasa 2000-2500 dapat RPM habang tumatakbo para pag inapakan mo pa accelarator mapapangiti ka , na mahirap maachieve pag naka DRIVE yng tranny "turbo lag" ata tawag dun d lng ako sure. Biruin mo pag tumatakbo ako ng 40-50 KPH at pag kinabig mo sa sport mode naka 4th gear sya Eh kahit sa manual tranny d ata ako naka kwarta pag 40 lng takbo ko, pero pag nagdownshift ka using either the paddle o nung kambio sabay diin sa acc pedal feel mo torque at HP nya kaso tumataas naman fuel consumption ko. I guess you can't have the best of both worlds, d ko alam kung mareremedyuhan yan nung mga "race chip pro", aftermarket air filter, etc. Shell V power gamit ko although gusto ko gamitin yng SeaOil dahil euro V, read somewhere na pasang awa yung d kasali sa big3 sa water and sediment content nung diesel nila. Something to do sa pag import n transport nung diesel. D ko lng alam kung anu mas detrimental sa engine natin, yng high sulfur content o yng pasang awa na sediment/water contamination.

*butchyboy, oo nga sir nakakatawa kasi lagi 4th gear kapag mga nasa 40K na, pero below that I observed na tama naman ang paling niya.. kapag mga 30K nasa 3rd gear, below 30K 2nd gear.. pag full stop, 1st gear siya..

Lagi ako nag Manual + paddle shift, sarap gamiten kasi tantyado mo ung hatak at madali lang mag palit ng gear.. yun nga lang, the more on Gas pedal the more on consumption talaga..

mamaya pa 1K pms narin ako dito Citimotors Alabang, papa update ko rin ung Gas rv meter ko, kasi di siya updated eh..

yun lang sablay sa AVT na HU naten, di accurate.. sana di nalang nila nilagay.. although kahet nakalagay sa manual na wag siya gamiten for ref.. nakaka asar parin kasi di siya reliable at accurate..

Puro mahina ang buga kasi low wattage makuha mo h11 and 9005(hb3) for high beams. Mag hid ka na lang, 1.9k per set

[microvoyager]

Mga sirs, tanong ko lang, kelangan ba talagang mag full down payment sa casa para mabook ang order? Kasi pinagdeposit na ako ng 5thou as reservation fee tapos tinext ako ng SA namin, kelangan nanaman daw ng full down e wala pa unit. Ganito po ba talaga? Salamat sa inputs..

[zix888]

eto yung gls 4x4 m/t na 2011 sir zix.. inupgraded na sya 2012 model vgt na yung engine kaya gls-v na sya..

Sir may tpms na din yan , read sa newspaper, napansin ninyo kung auto levelling headlamps w/ hid na din? T.y.

Naku sir style yan, para maobliga ka na sa kanila kumuha, ang masakit niyan baka may units na sa ibang dealerships, tapos wala sa kanila, hindi ka makakuha sa iba. Ako nakakuha naman ng walang reservation, to think, yun din yung kahirapan kumuha ng gtv at that time, march 10.

Yun nga din iniisip ko sir zix888 e.. Lagi pa sinasabing halos lahat ng nagpareserve e nagdown na presumably to pressure us to give our down payment. Tama nga sabi mo sir pag meron na sa ibang dealership wala na kaming choice kundi maglaway na lang dahil nakatali na kami sa kanila..

[spookles2006]

Actually wala ako preferred na dealership, kung san may unit na choice ko yung color dun ako, sfm san pablo lang may white that time kaya dun ako nakakuha. Sobra bilis lang ng transaction, someone called me up on the 9th march na taga sfm, didnt even know how they found out i was looking for a white gtv, anyway, sabi ko if sure meron sila, kunin ko the next day, ayun tumawag early 10th march, confirmed, pinuntahan ko agad and nailabas naman yung unit . Pero kung anO bilis ng unit ko mailabas, eto na problema, until now wala pa lto sticker ko.

[zix888]

Guys, still having a hard time to decide between Fort and Monty. I love the looks of the Fortuner but Monty is more powerful plus the features are well updated.

For someone like me who'll be owning an SUV for the first time, I'm going through sleepless nights thinking which is which. :ill:

The test driev will make or break it. Also rate your preferences like do you value looks more than ride quality? Dami na kasi comparo niyan, kahit saan dyan wala kang lugi, yung mas gusto mo na lang kasi may kabig ng dibdib eh.

madali lang yan. test drive mo montero and fortuner. mas maganda kung malayuang test drive, wag yung iikot lang kayo sa isang block. better kung may kamag-anak ka na may fortuner and/or montero. mapapabilis ang decision mo. (ganyan ginawa ko. tapos sumakit ulo ko sa harsh ng ride ng ****, alam ko na bigla ano ang bibilhin ko. remember: araw-araw mo mamanehuhin yan.)

[shans_wizard]

first time user din ako ng SUV and very much satisfied po talaga ako sa Montero kahit 4x2 glx-v lang to akin. just what i need in a car
