All New 2013 Toyota Vios (3rd Gen)

mga sir tanong ko lang po ano kaya pwede spray sa loob ng koche para mamaintain yung "brandnew" smell niya? tia

To retain the "brand new" car smell, I suggest that you never buy or use any car freshener for that matter. I have a 4-year old vehicle and friends who ride inside my car for the first time still smell that "new" car odor surprisingly. Just make sure that you always maintain that your car interior is always clean and free from any food odor.

yan sana gusto ko. walang car freshener. pero pag may sumakay naman na may perfume ganun na din hehe. so it is really unavoidable. plus, when I park, I lower my side windows for added visibility. that's the time that I can smell the gas exhaust from the car. I guess those fumes also stick to the car's interior and build up over time.

nearing my 5K ODO. it seems my average FC is really around 12km/l.

Guys may question ako, Just subscribed to Spotify Premium so I can stream more songs from my phone. Now I want to link my phone to my inline vios radio. How do I do this? I see a small 3.5mm jack beside the USB slot but it seems that this is for output? when do I find the AUX input?

[Aico Wei]

Almost 6 months na rin Vios ko at wala paring ORCR at plate. Sa mga meron na, gano katagal bago nyo nakukuha? Mangungulit na nga ako sa dealer >.<

Diko rin alam men eh. Yung sa kuya ko Fortuner nya 4 months bago nagka ORCR, pero up to now 1 year na wala parin plaka haha nagpagawa na lang cya ng japanese conduction plates for the meantime. Madali kasi masira yung vanity plate ng casa.

[artsky]

That's the correct port. Input port yan.

The 3.5mm female jack on your unit is the aux input where you can plug your phone or any audio device like mp3 player, tablet, to listen to songs stored on them.

Guys pag ba downhill saan ba talaga dapat naka shift ang atin vios A/T? N, D, or 3,2,L?
Some says pag N daw dilekado dahil walang control sa speed at mas mataas daw ang fuel consumption dahil kung naka gear ka sa D hindi mag iinject ng fuel and EFI(Electronic Fuel Injector) para ma maintain na running ang engine.
Pag naman engine braking(3, 2, L) mas mabilis daw ma damage ang transmission.

At sa idle, say for 30 seconds stoplight, kailangan pa ba ishift to N or D nalang? Sabi kasi mas ok na ishift sa N para hindi masyado ma damage ang torque converter. Yung iba naman D + Handbrake lang. Pansin ko din po na may malakas na pwersa pag nag shift from N to D kaya palagi ako D+Handbrake sa short stops.

Ang turo sakin pag pabulusok dapat sa 2 nakalagay,about sa short stop N + handbrake ako...

Having my first PMS here in Toyota. I asked about upgrading or changing the alarm for my 2014 vios 1.3E. Sabi sa akin hindi daw na u upgrade or pag pinalitan ng ibang alarm ma vo void dw warranty kahit sa kanila ni purchase ung alarm. They have the Terminator brand. So sabi ko wala ako options to change or upgrade the TVSS even if sa kanila mangagaling ung hardware kung ayaw ko ma void warranty and they said yes. Any comments mga sir?

ask other toyota casas, sir. perhaps they will be more receptive..

Good day ka- Tsikoteers.

For next couple of weeks, this will be my first car . Sorry di na ko makapagback read, dami ng pages. ang nasa quotation is 2014 1.5G AT (FMC). Ano b yun FMC? ano b dapat ko tingnan kung ganun nga ang ibigay sakin? Sorry wala ko alam sa car.

Kung sino man nagsabi na titigil injectors sa D at any circumstance is plainly stupid.

Kung downhill, stick with D3 or D with overdrive off. This would give you 60kms/h with a lot of engine braking to help the breaks.

I don't normally shift to neutral or park mode if the traffic standstill is 1min or less.

FMC= Francisco Motors Corporation! just kidding hehe. FMC is Full Model Change.

If I freewheel or coast downhill in neutral will I save fuel?

This is one of those topics of discussion that most people get wrong. In older petrol cars that used carbs, coasting or freewheeling downhill would save you fuel, and this method worked quite well for those older cars. Modern petrol cars with Electronic Fuel Injection, do not work the same way. Modern cars with EFI have a Fuel Return Pipe which sends unused fuel back to the tank, so if you just simply leave the car in gear, and keep your foot off the go pedal while on a downhill stretch of road, the engine will not be using any fuel. If you were to use the old technique of coasting in neutral on a downhill stretch in a modern EFI car, when the revs drop below approx 1000rpm, the tickover valve kicks in, and you are burning fuel to keep the engine running. So the best way to save fuel in modern petrol cars is to effectively coast in gear, and when slowing down, use engine braking as much as possible, by simply going down through the gears, to keep the revs above tickover, with the fuel supply cut off, then when you have almost stopped, you simply have to let the engine reach idle speed. Most diesel cars have a Fuel Cut Off Valve, that works in a similar manner by simply cutting off the fuel supply when you take your foot off the pedal, so the same method of coasting works for both EFI & diesel cars.

In theory po kasi kapag nasa D sa downhill or freewheel hindi masyado mataas ang kailangan na fuel ng engine para sa idle rpm. When if nasa N naman, hindi naka engage ang transmission sa engine kaya mas mataas ang fuel consumption para ma maintain ang idle rpm.

Anyway, thanks po sa mga comments and suggestions. Hindi ko lang po talaga masigurado kung may Fuel Cut Off Valve din ba ang ating vios.

Bkit me binayaran ka? My pms is free up to 10k mark. Parts and labor free sa akin , otis din ako. Di ka ba binigyan ng coupon?

[artsky]

free sa iyo boss even if you opt to change to fully synthetic oil?
