Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[apexi_66]

Hehehe... May nakita na naman si Apexi! I thought D4-D hate campaign ka lang? You're very keen with anything negative about the Fortuner... It seems Fortuner hate campaign na ang ginagawa mo ah.

Ikaw naman kaibigang vicoyski, kung naging babae lang ang Fortuner, ***y talaga sya kaya paano ko sya gagawan ng hate campaign since I love ***y girls vicoyski Napansin ko lang kasi sa mga posting na malimit ma mention na may napapansin silang noise sa Fortuner nila. Saka maski papano, concerned din ako bakit ganoon eh majority pa naman city driving lang. What more kung malimit mo siyang gamitin sa off-road o malubak na kalsada.

*jeyps11_c: matutuwa ka jan for sure. hassle na mag-cd.

vicoyski: pakabit ka na. less than 10 minutes lang kinabit yung sakin. sanay na sanay sila magbukas. don't worry.

jean,

ABS engages only during hardbraking and when loss of traction is detected. Otherwise, hard braking from high speeds alone will not engage it.

yup, when you slam on the brake pedal real hard, there will be instances when loss of traction will result due to the sudden locking of the wheels and when this is just about to happen, the ABS kicks-in by repeatedly dis-engaging/engaging the brakes insanely fast, thus allowing you to steer the vehicle in the direction you desire.

under normal circumstances however and even during high speeds, the ABS is not activated when you don't slam the brake pedals hard enough & when the ABS system didn't detect loss of traction/locking wheels, thus only the regular brake system of the vehicle is being engaged.

Thanks Otep and slamtaz. I'm just surprised kasi sa sabi ni franci_rod na ramdam daw nya nanginginig ang brake pedal nya pag nag hard brake. Nangyari na kasi sa akin minsa running at 85-90Km/hr biglang hard brake ako,smooth naman ang pedal though kung di ako nakapag steer, dali ang ride ko. Anyway baka iba nga ang Fortuner kasi disc/drum sya compare sa Sorento na disc/disc.

Its the ABS brake, I experience that on my CRV when suddenly a bike just crossed my path, I was doing 60. I slammed the brake and the brake pedal suddenly vibrate.

[toadstool]

felt the same ABS vibration on both the fortuner and the sorrento. maybe your sorrento jean is exceptional have your brakes checked bka hindi gumagana yung abs. or maybe your braking wasnt that hard, kaya hindi nag-activate yung abs. just a thought.

toadstool, thanks sa suggestion mo. I'll have it checked by Wheels pag paservice ko this week. But tanong ko lang, di ba walang ABS yong local Sorento?

[vicoyski]

Yes... Thank God indeed for ABS! It can slightly lengthen your braking distance, but it helps you steer to avoid the obstruction in front of you...

m not familiar with the variants of sorrento. but the one i've driven has ABS.

[herbularyo]

Sir,
Looks like your ABS is working. I have 2 cars with ABS (Pajero and Fortuner 4x2 DSL) ganon rin ang mangyayari pag nagsudden hard brake ka.

Dec23 bagong kuha ko yong Fortuner ko from the dealer at umaambon pa noon and I was driving at around 70-80KPH nang may biglang tumawid na matandang babae. I braked really hard and I felt the pedal pulsating. The nice thing about ABS was that I was still able to steer the vehicle away from the obstruction. Thanks God for ABS, kung wala yon baka na hit ko na yong matandang babae. Kinabukasan din nag-pa blessing ako sa sasakyan.

[bilog]

ganon talaga feeling ng abs... nung first time ko nakadrive with an abs corolla kala ko mahina ang preno and may pulsating feel sa pedals. sabi sa toyota ganun daw talaga ang abs. I also felt this on my fortuner...

Toyota managed to sell 4,011 units of Fortuner in just seven months after its introduction last May'05.

kaya pala ang dami ko nang nakikitang fortuner sa kalsada.

[eggnog]

just got a 2.7 gas fortuner, you guys know how to soften the ride of the car?

[franci_rod]

Thanks to everyone for the enlightenment! Appreciate it! Almost ruined my day last Saturday because of that. Kala ko kasi something was wrong with my unit....wala pa 500 ang ODO reading ko eh. What bothered me really was the sound that it made (ganun kaya talaga???)....pulsating pedals, I might have guessed na ABS pero yung sound, it really scared me kasi baka biglang bumigay while driving, for sure malaking accident.

[katsudon_ph]

Guys, my unit already reached 10K and so far so good. anyway would like to ask where can i get the turbo timer and how much would it cost?

PM vickoyski. He has already installed it in his unit. Check here

[jeyps11_c]

Got the PIE installed and it's great!
No need for CDs in the car.
I'm still thinking if I'll put a monitor in my ride to optimize the Ipod VIdeo =)

Sa Wakas!
