4th Gen Montero Sport (2023)

[dr. d]

Yes Doc it is just the other day that I found out about the km/li setting. I have to pull the handbreak and settings menu would appear.

you mean, you were un-intentionally quoting cumulative?
where the first km were normally low?

[Deestone]

it depends on how fast i am turning.
in our eskenita sa barangay, i shift to 1st gear.
i don't shift to neutral, because i can't rely on momentum to take the turn.
and i am going too slow for 2nd gear.

I always put it in neutral whenever im turning I don't know if this is good practice. So I have to choose between 1st and 2nd gear after I turn.

[Deestone]

Also, I always put it in 1st gear whenever I park the vehicle I don't use handbreak. I remember before that it is more advisable to put it in 1st gear.

[dr. d]

if there is a part in the vehicle that is literally bulletproof or nearly so,
it'd be the engine block and the manual transmission.

when parked, i use both handbrake and 2nd gear.
i have personally experienced SUA via trans-in-gear-when-engine-is-started.
it's literally a wake-up call.
i believe that using both handbrake and MT gear, somehow help me remember.
heh heh.

i feel that i lose some amount of control over the vehicle, if it is moving on momentum alone, even if slowly.

Nope there is no fender line in GLX model..... one thing I noticed also is the power window. I was playing with it in the driver seat and I noticed that the driver window and the 2nd row passenger window all are automatic just one press and the window goes all the way down. But in the front passenger side window you have to press and hold as it is not automatic. I'm not sure if this is as it is or might be a malfunction in the front passenger side window?

Sorry, all automatic and windows ng Montero GLX. Malamang na press ng matagal ang power window switch for the 1st row passenger side sa driver console mo. Solution is to i press mo lang for 10 seconds and babalik ang auto up-down nyan.

That is dangerous. You only go neutral when stationary. When in motion, the gear must be engaged or semi-engaged for traction and control. Instead of neutral, why not depress the clutch, mas ok maging clutch driver than no control to vehicle. Or pwede mo naman timplahin ang "bite" ng clutch sa flywheel in reference to the engaged gear, its just a matter of mastery or more driving hours using a clutch.

I agree. Going into a corner, one can down shift to 2nd. Depending on the speed, one can stay on 2nd gear or shift to 1st coming out of the corner.

Okay. So I have been doing it wrong all the time. I have this habit of putting the gear in neutral whenever Im coming to a stop in a traffic light or turning.

Neutral coming near a stop is ok. For turning, it's not.

I will be having my 1st pms this weekend. My agent told me to wait for the call of the service advisor. So what is the procedure here the SA will quote me first and then after they do the routine pms?

the pms schedule of work are de kahon. they can quote you a price upon arrival. in some casas, the price list is on the bulletin board above the SA's table.
but don't get carried away by the so-called beauty products. deleting them can reduce your costs.
good luck.

Okay. I hope I do get a coffee or sandwhich while waiting.

Usually sa akin, alam na ng SA na I will be removing the non-essential part sa PMS.
Ang hindi ko lang ma remove talaga is yung carwash.
I know they included it already sa price but hindi nila ininclude sa quotation list dahil free daw.
600 sana mababawas dun eh.

Just bring the vehicle to nearest casa, hand-over the key & warranty booklet make-sure the SA put his signature, odometer, and date.

Had my pms last weekend. Here are my observation..... the oil use im not sure if it is really fully synthetic because it just came from a container (probably from a drum) because it did not came from a bottle. They offered me free car wash and after 2hours pms was done. I didn't see them putting in the fuel treatment so im not sure if they really put it in but it is included in the costing. Overall, cost was around Php5,700 and they also check my car interior, lightings, battery, wheels, top-up the wiper washer. So it is not just change oil in Casa as they check everything.

[dr. d]

personally,
i would have approved only for the oil and oil filter change.
in my opinion, everything else that has to be paid for, i.e., treatment, additive, or improver, are... not needed.
heh heh.

Mas maka save ka sana ng as much as 2k if pinatanggal mo mga additivies and treatment.
Also, wala ba silang option if hingin mo yung excess bottle ng oil?
Yan ginagawa ko if the CASA insist on having synthetic due to out of stock daw.
Binigay naman nila.

I ask the SA how much would it cost me if mineral and/or synthetic. She told me 3100 for the mineral and 5500 for the synthetic. So I go with the synthetic oil and she told me just to add the fuel injection cleaner which I agreed so total it cost me 5700.
