Magandang safety feature eh yong alarm pag may di fully closed na door at kung di na release yong parking brake. Di talaga titigil unless you correct it at saka auto headlights.

Onga eh. Especially if the kid is sitting on the front passenger side and playing on the unlock handle. Remind na lang them siguro.

Ok sana kung driver side lang ang ganon.

Dalawa na kami dito - myself and coolman (got our units within September) are telling you guys na wala na talagang alarm si SF.

Baka sa mga new batches wala na talagang alarm and doon sa previous meron pa. :wonder: wawa naman kami. Need to shell out additional 5k para sa alarm.

baka kinahoy ah:(

I called up Hyundai Edsa and sabi meron daw, AS PER BROCHURE, alarm ang Hyundai SF nila. I would really want to know kung meron talaga.

Kasi ung SF ko may Warning Sticker pa nga sa salaming na it is equipped with an Alarm System pero wala naman pala.

C190,

Baka kasi yna din sagot syo ng dealers na as per brochure meron.
Dapat ma-test talaga ang unit kung may alarm o wala.

I will drop by to some of the dealers tomorrow. I really have to test their units. I will be really mad pag nalaman kong kinahoy ang unit ko. :mad:

Sinabi ko na sa bangko na walang alarm ang unit ko and they will check with the dealer daw.

yung 1 casa na kausap ko kanina pinapupunta ako para i demo yung alarm..

baka naman di lang na activate yung alarm mo.......sana:)

baka nga. kasi yun sa'min in-activate nila auto-lock feature during the next pms eh.

ni hindi nga namin alam na puwede pala yun hehehe. basta after the pms, natuwa kami kasi nag-lock sya mag-isa

Mabuti pa pala sa Hyundai Alabang, sa harap mo mismo ide-demo yung mga features ng sasakyan mo. They activated my alarm at the same time na kukunin ko na yung unit! Pinatanggal ko na lang yung self locking features nya at baka makalimutan ko yung key sa loob.

In fact, when i had my first 1000 tune up, i asked the mechanic to show me the self leveling suspension gadget (they lifted my car kasi so i inspected the whole suspension system....) even the mechanic could not show me where it is...sabi lang nila..nandyan yan...and honestly, i never felt it work...maybe we should file a class suit against HARI...for mis-representation!

Medyo mahirap patunayan ang misrepresentation unless HARI had advertised the self leveling suspension feature "officially". It is very easy for them to prove that they never advertised it. Look at their brochure, it didn't say so. It was just a hype peddled by some of their uneducated SA's. I asked a technician about this and he said that for self leveling suspension to work, sensors has to be installed from the factory and this is not even visible in SF. VeraCruz yes it is there. So don't believe this sales pitch about self leveling suspension. Maybe what most believed was that it is there but probably of the passive type. Unlike it's active cousins where sensors send information to the car's onboard computer and do the necessary control.

All HARI has to do is deny that they ever did claim SF has this feature. Word of mouth doesn't prove much in court but explicit statements on ads or brochures would hang HARI.
