U cant update to latest build as its android 4.4.2. gmaps need minimum android 5.0 for newer apk support.

I'm facing a issue with the auto leveling function as the weight increases the beam gets down that much that i cannot see on the road.. any solution..

There's a device behind the dashboard that can be accessed by removing the glove box. See if you can disconnect it.

The device controls the headlight auto levelling function

Personaly i didnt like the auto leveling function..
I went toyota service center they said that light is to adjusted correctly...so he adjusted but that was not effective bcz the light come back into its orignal position..perhaps that is due to the auto leveling function..

It seems fine to me. Use high beam if you need to for a short time. BTW Grande LEDs do not distrub the oncoming traffic or do not disturb the traffic in front even it does not disturb someone in a Mehran .

YesThats good for the oncoming.On motorway i was only using high beam bcz that time low beam was useless...

For Point No 2 : use liquimoly or WD40 silicon spray on control link arm aka Chimta Bushes.... take the car on ramp / lift, generously spray it on the CHIMTA Bushes two on each side it will become OK. i already done it with my City and it worked.
For Point No 3 : Check the air trapped in your brake hydraulic system as you have replaced the fluid there are great chances of still an air trap inside.... make all 04 calliper pistons bleed for removing the air.

Thanks for these suggestions:
Point 2: I can try this. Hope this sorts it out. This issue is in my City as well, but in the rear shocks somehow.
Point 3: The brakes have been the same both since before the fluid change. No specific difference. It was done by Toyota Sharae Faisal so they should have bled the air out. But considering the different feedback we keep getting here on the forums, they could have still made the mistake of not doing it. Bottomline: the brakes on my Grande feel far less effective / confident than my City, or my previous GP5 Fit, which was excellent btw.

Can you plz post the picture of light beam on road so that i can compare with the beams of my grande it will be helpful for me thanks..

I made this video to show low beam, high beam and fogs in play

After a bit of tweaking with Techstream getting this awesome average. Now even in peak congestion from Gulberg to PWD snail pace, stop and go traffic fuel avg does not drop. Earlier avg used to drop by 7,8 points when stuck in traffic congestion. Now it stays 14 and 14+ also on heavy foot. As far as I remember my friend Bilal, the owner of Burraq Autos, 0-9, Police Foundation, reset throttle relearn only. The avg on mid was reset at top up.

Using Total 0w-20 and Total petrol from F-6

What is your oil change interval for 0w20 ?

autophile (autophile) 2020-02-29 17:31:53 +0500 #1311

It can go till 10,000 kms, but I may change it after 5,000 may be up to 7,000 after observing the condition.

Dear What was done in this tweaking as 14 in congested is a lot on heavy foot .

autophile (autophile) 2020-03-01 19:32:54 +0500 #1313

Only throttle relearn

syedmfarooq 2020-03-03 18:38:23 +0500 #1314

How was this done. A detailed process review will be great, or even a synopsis will do if you don't have time. This will help out owners who live in busy cities and go through daily traffic congestion like myself.

autophile (autophile) 2020-03-03 23:42:41 +0500 #1315

Nothing special. I do not do unnecessary overtaking as I have observed it does not save time, but gulps fuel like hell. However, I am not a slow driver when I see some free stretch of the road and rev it as much as I can safely.

Only fill from one petrol pump: Total F-6.

Use original filters and currently engine oil is 0-20 Total.

Tire pressure I keep is 35 psi

A 2 psi more will not hurt anything, but give better fuel economy
