[jut703]

final consumption figures after top up.

511.4kms travelled/40.451 liters =12.642km/liter

had to top up already. low fuel indication has not been reached yet.

will log the next consumption if there will be a big difference as i have already reached the 1k mark in the odometer.

Great FC! Were you able to log the average speed for the trip as well?

to all vitara owners, what is your current psi front and rear?

this is the first time i checked my psi and i'm getting more than what is recommended.

if can also state your current consumption so i know what to expect if i try to lower it down to the recommended psi.

thank you.

hi. I tried with the cable connected. It's always failed. "Pls retry" lagi.

I tried 3 Android phones. Same error.

Please help...

Had the same problem and never did manage to get mirror link to work. Tried everything including debugging my phone and buying a new high speed cable. Im the end, i downloaded the EasyConnection app on my phone and it worked like magic. I think it’s even better than mirror link because it perfectly mirrors my phone so i can use ALL my apps. Good luck!

thank you. my psi on the rear is 43. i wonder if i should follow the 35/41 or the 35/35.

Depends on how many passengers you usually carry ...

yes. mostly we are just two. weekend trips 4-5. i'll try to lower it down after to 38/38 and see how the consumption will hold on and then down to 35/35. will there be a big impact in handling/safety if the tires are overinflated or beyond what is recommended by the manufacturer?

What is the recommended pressure per the inflation table sa may driver door side...seems to be high even at 35psi for a regular tire (low profile pressure level na yan at 35psi)...

Currently maintaining 35 psi on all tires.

I noticed a slight effect on consumption when I lowered to the recommended range. The tires were inflated to 42psi when my Vitara came out of the dealer. I was doing around 11 km/L in the early days. It went down to the high 10s when I set the tires to 38psi, and then I'm now typically in the 10-10.5 range at 35psi. I've charted my fuel consumption statistics on this thread, just backread to see the history.

I don't really think the effect is significant when you go down to the recommended pressure. Usage is more important. I typically drive alone on weekdays when I bring the Vitara to work (Alabang to Makati and back); there are typically 3-5 passengers on weekend trips.

Very short trips will really hurt fuel economy more than the air on the tires. On weekends, I make a number of trips less than three kilometers. I also take a lot of village roads to avoid traffic and that has an impact on fuel economy too (movement along village roads is slower and there are lots of stops).

Another factor is the traffic you face on your usual routes. That said, my latest FC figure is 9.5 km/L, 16kph average speed, 219.2 kms travelled, 35psi on the tires, fuel is Caltex Silver.

The other Saturday afternoon, I got stuck is crawling traffic along southbound SLEX. It took two hours from Villamor to Sucat exit, and that really hurt my fuel economy.

I've noticed that grip is better at 35psi than when higher. Comfort doesn't seem to be affected, as my wife hasn't complained about ride comfort since we got the Vitara.

Fuel economy will be better at higher PSIs, but be prepared for the tires to wear out faster. The ride might also become harsher.

See this page for a little more about possible effects: here.

thank you. i'll go down to 38/38 within the week and observe and then go down to 35/35 after a week or so.

Hi!

Initially I asked regarding the infotainment system of the GLX if it was a genuine android experience and was replied that it was, almost tablet-like as it was said. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other info about it further anywhere else.
So just making sure, given that prolly there are more GLX owners now, does it still hold true?

Specifically, that there is Play Store and you can download essential apps like Waze, Spotify, Youtube, Twitch and Telegram?

Thanks!

Yeah, in the PH market, they slapped an el-cheapo Android tablet like in the console.

El cheapo? How cheap is it?

it's relative.
" if they put in a 50K unit when the TOTL costs 51K, it's still 'el cheapo' ".
heh heh heh.
