I went to san carlos city pala last week, when we are going on a steep uphill na pala, medyo hirap ang carens ko if i use a/t mode, kaya i always shift using the shiftronic or sports mode, ganun ba talaga un??? has anyone who has an a/t carens encountered this or ano ginagawa nyo if you are going uphill let say if you are going to bagiuo???

The only way for you to move it on an uphill is to step harder on the gas or put in manual mode so you could control the gears. That's really how AT works.

good luck to me.

maybe there is something wrong with the passenger side door. bakit lahat doon lang na side. Complain kaya atin sa kia.

Malayo kasi ako sa service center kaya pinaayos ko nalang sa electrician namin, yon nawala ang warantee. So i opted to have it replace with a one made in china. Mahal kasi yong orig...nasa 6.5 each.

Nasunog din ic ng head unit ko, wala din akong makita na replacement. Temporarily 1 DIN lng muna pinalit ko na headunit, spare stereo from my other ride. Hanap pa ako mura na amps hehehe.
Sometimes im having regrets why I settled for this ride, kaya lng everytime I leave in the dust ang mga bully SUVs at pick ups e nawawala lahat ng sakit ng ulo na naidulot ni carens hehehe.

i don't have complains against the break pads. The way we abused it...ang sarap kasi hatawin ang carens.

Thanks sir jovill, ganun nga ginawa ko kasi 1st time ko umakyat ng ganun kataas eh, medyo natakot lng ako kasi when using full a/t, parang ayaw gumalaw ung carens, kaya i immediately shift it to manual mode para ma control ko ang gears.

I just step harder on the accelerator on uphills. I use the sports mode on downhills to control the speed. Otherwise, always on the A/T mode.

Una sir ok pa if straight ang road going uphill, but when i encounter a sharp curve, d alis ko foot ko sa accelerator to decrease my speed, then when i step on the gas again, ayun parang pagong na and halos ayaw na gumalaw ang car, thats the time i switch to sports mode na.

hey guys. pansin ko lang. do you have crappy speakers? or is it the stereo? it gives crappy sound quality.

I think its the speaker, meron na tayong mga fellow carens owners that changed their speaker and when they changed it to a newer one gumanda na ang tunog ng sound.
