Mitsubishi customer care dept called me yesterday and scheduled me for an ETACS unit reprogramming. She said that it is only applicable to GLS unit (those with push start stop button). From what I understand of her explanation, the reprogramming has something to do with the car being able to start after removing the battery terminals within 60-90mins. (For those who already have their ETACS unit upgraded, can anyone confirm if my understanding is correct?)

Actually, the best way to heat up the tranny oil (CVT, old school automatic, DSG, manual, et al. regardless of type) is to drive off immediately while applying a light load (wag haharurot). 10-15 seconds should be enough to get the oil circulated for mild driving conditions. As with the engine, when you start driving the faster the fluids get up to temperature, consequently saving on wear and tear as well as fuel.

Mga Sirs, I had this experience kagabi with my GLS CVT, nung morning nagcarwash ako then I tried my spare kos for the first time. When I was to start the engine nung gabi ayaw na, parang hindi nagtutuloy ung ignition. I posted sa group page sa fb to seek for some comments and naalala ko na meron pala kong nabasa sa manual regarding "hard starting" then un gumana naman. nalunod pala sa petrol. what are the possible cause kaya bakit ngkakaganun?? never ko pa n experience yun sa dati kong AT car. first time with my mirage 17++km reading.

Eto sigurong incident na to ang salarin kun bakit napaka tagal ng release ng mga GLS units.

nangyari na sa jazz ko ito dati, engine flooding ata tawag dito. minsan kasi pag sandali mo lang na-start ung engine, may natitirang unburned fuel na nag-settle dun sa tip ng spark plugs kaya ayaw nya mag-produce ng sparks during ignition. kailangan muna alisin/matuyo nung gas sa tip ng spark plug para umaandar ulit ung engine.
