i visited one dealer, i tried to open the lights, pero hanggang park lights lang. ganun ba talaga?

in another dealer naman, when i test drove the CRDI, hindi nagwo-work yung speedometer, sabi nila they removed the wire connected to it. Is this true? display unit nila ito. Also if i remember correctly there is a "Rear A/C" button below the headunit, hindi ba talaga umiilaw ito when pressed? pero yung defogger button ok naman.

do they (dealer) really disconnect some wirings while on display? or quality issues kaya ito?

btw parang may Dinan din dun sa kabilang forum, BMW car club.

well bongsac. thats my problem. still trying to fifure out the exact specs of the bulb. let you know when i get a chance to change it. let me know also if it is H1 since you will be trying to compare it to others. As for the Dinan name.. dont know about that... in the BMW car club. Dinan is actually an american company that specializes in BMW tuning..

yup..headlights won't operate on engine off

Yep. All newer Korean vehicles are like this. I think Korean legislation dictates it to be this way.

actually it kinda makes sense to force your headlamps / foglamps off when the engine is off or the key is not inserted. para naman idiot-proof at hindi ka maubusan ng battery in case you did forget to turn them off

Idiot-proof din yung ACC mode ng SantaFe when its engine is off. It automatically cuts off electricity when it reaches critical current limit - to enable you to start and recharge the batt.

Have you guys noticed that the Footbrake's "bite" isn't as strong as a typical Handbrake?

just posted my fastest speed at 195kph sa nlex with 4 adults and 2 kids on board. after my 1000 pms nagiba yung hatak...lumakas lalo. uncle ko gulat sa lakas ng hatak. now convinced sla that fe is better than the (un)fortuner.

sabi nga nila..fortuner looks astig...while fe si ***IER!

btw, im still getting 10-11 km/l mixed. palagay ko sa pure nlex kaya 15-17.

with the speedo's that i dont know...obviously ayaw nila madagdagan mileage nung unit if that's d case.

thanks for clearing everything, i was beginnig to doubt the build quality na.

wow..15 units na lang abot ka na sa dulo ng gauge!! Against the wind ba?? hehe. 600km more to go pa pwede na rin subukan si Fe ko. Btw, ano RPM mo at 195?
