  1. What? Do you mean your Sat Nav is not working now? They did it on mine a few months ago but the Sat Nav is working fine still.
  2. My Kluger Grande 2008 has a large touch screen LCD display for GPS and radio/CD player function control. By pressing certain button around the screen and turning the headlight switch/stalk at the same time, one can access a hidden service menu. Anyone knows exactly how to access it? Thanks.
  3. In my case I don't have that problem described above that necessitate switching off the recycle mode of Air cond.
  4. I was going to make this similar thread a few months ago. I have a one year old Kluger Grande. Right from the beginning I have been experiencing this rotten egg smell permeating the cabin from time to time. Initially I thought one of the kids has farted. Somehow no one admitted to it. Then I noticed that it seems to occur in certain area especially the on ram of the free way. There is some forest there so I initially thought it was related to some swamp gas or whatever. Later I worked out that it is related to hard to moderately hard accelation. eg going up on ram, over taking, going up a hill etc etc It is much worse if the vent is in "recycle" mode. With the vent opened it is not as bad but if you are going up a hill for a prolonged period you will still get the smell coming in. The car is in the service department the second time now. The first time they told me that the rotten smell is from the catalytic converter. The fume got through the tail gate. They took out the trimming and fixed some sort of plastic sheet in before reassembled the trimming. They were hoping that it would reduce the fume from coming in. Well, it has helped a bit BUT the bloody smelly fume still coming in if you press the accelerator hard enough or long enough. Been driving for 30 years and I have never experience this in any other cars. I told the service manager that leaving the vent opened is not an option. The air pollution and fume from other cars are bad on the road. It also make the air cond much less efficient. I have a feeling that the fume is coming through not just from the tail gate.
  5. I showed them Diagram G and a copy of page 311 in the manual and asked them which one they would use. They pick page 311. I gave the copy to them and also told them that the tyres are all marked. Checked after the service, it was correctly done. Somehow the right front tyre's outer rim was worn more. So a front and rear wheel alignment were performed. Cost $50 extra.
  6. If you find a suitable one please let us know where to get it from. I am interested as well.
  7. I found that page in the owner's manual. Page 311. However, the way suggested in the manual is a bit different from the Diagram G above. Which one should be used? Thanks.
  8. The trip computer is already out. Another underestimation compared with the GPS. One of my work place took me 120km according to GPS but about 3-4 km less with that of the Kluger trip computer. Someone said somewhere that the speedo is out but the trip computer is ok. My experience is that they are both out and underestimated.
  9. Current original tyres cause underestimation of travelling speed and ALSO distance travelled. So would replacing them with a slightly larger diameter tyres helps in rectifying the problem? I am going print that Diagram G out in colour and mark all tyres with chalk. Then I am going to tell them I am watching them like a hawk to make sure that they do rotate them.
  10. A bit confusing here. I thought rotating 5 tyres is to ensure that they are almost evenly worn. This would make the set last longer. So when time come to replace the tyres, shouldn't all be replaced? If you then have 4 new tyres and 1 old tyre, how would doing 5 tyre rotation be possible then? Unless the next cycle is a 4 tyres rotation. :)
  11. Thanks. So you rotate the tyres yourself? Should I mark each tyre with a chalk and labelling them 1-5 to make sure that they have indeed rotated the tyres?
  12. My Kluger Grande is having its 10000 km service soon. Should I do a 4 tyre rotation or a 5 tyre rotation? For a 5 tyre rotation how should it be done? Should they do it this way as per Diagram G ? 5 tyre rotation or Also I am keeping the tyre pressure at 38 psi. Is that satisfactory? Thanks.
  13. I managed to partially resolve the problem by swapping the head rest/restrain of the front seat (driver seat) with that of the second row seat. Not ideal but much better then the original head rest/restrain.
  14. Does your Toyota service department send you a feedback form to fill in after each service with them?
