Toyota Corolla 11th Generation Altis [Merged Threads]

You can drive away as soon as the idle stabilizes to below 1k rpm. Some cars kasi go above 1k rpm on cold starts to heat up the cat converter.

Drive gently until the cold temp indicator disappears. The cold indicator will disappear faster when you're driving compared to just sitting in the garage.

You can drive normally after that.

Maaga ba nalalaspag yung auto mga sir? Also, I know it says in the manual to avoid revving above 2500 but I've probably done it around three times now. Will it somehow affect engine performance in the future? Sorry for the noon question, my first brand new car kase

thanks guys!

When my car was new, top speed kagad. Nothing bad ever happened to it. No need to baby the car.

And 800 km over 3 weeks isn't laspag. I just travelled 1,100 km over the weekend.

Sa mga casa meron, same sa vios. 850 ang isa kaya wag mo na ipasok sa insurance kung turn signal lamp lang ang problema

it also takes a minute to get everything ready for the actual drive anyway (music, adjust seats, mirrors, etc). youll be fine with the occassional high revvs. ang sinasabi lang naman nila is not to race your car.

Thanks sir pajejemon. Actually, yes, old school method nga, old habit haha! My last car was a 2001 Lancer GLX, matanda na kaya nasanay lang na pinapainit muna hehe! As for hard stops, minsan siguro yung biglang tapak sa brakes in traffic dahil sa mga sumisingit na motor at jeep... Usually ganun lang sir. Thanks for the advice again

Thanks sir JohnM. Mine does takes a minute before it stabilizes to 1k rpm. Ummm... Where is the cold temp indicator located?

haha! Sorry, still haven't read the manual fully...

Wow, sir jut703, matinding long drive yan sir ah! I was thinking, after my first 1k PMS dun ko palang iaakyat ng baguio, or go for a really long drive...
