hi ppl..i have a question..i bought a vitz 2008. iam not familiar with its AT gear box transmission. What is meant by S and B.. i know D is for drive and P for parking etc..but not sure abt S and B .
one more question, is vitz 1000cc gud for travelling to northern areas like murree nathigali. what gear combination shud b used while going towards uphill and downhill.. is it safe to travel in northern areas in vitz(1000cc)...thanks alot

D drive
S sporty (higher acceleration like 3rd gear)
B barking (lower gear like 2nd or 1st)

last june i visited northern area till jhall khud (NARAN), in vitz with three adult n 2 childs on-board, feel embarrassment in bad patch area / diversion and mud where touching bottom (low ground clearance :S) after kiwai, but didn't fell any harassment due to vitz 1.0 engine. its iz my first trip on mountain driving but i learns more about auto tranny n get pleasure of driving while returning goto murree via abotabad (more upwards) with 1 tea break (giv time to car breath) n njoy the traveling
MOVING DOWN hill
dont use D when moving down wards, dont use accelerator and firstly move ur gear knob to S, dont frequently apply brake (got heat up due to friction and chances of brake failure) and than turn ur gear knob to B to maintain slow speed and apply brake if / when required
MOVING UP WARDS
gradually apply gear D to S and then S to B as per requirement,
follow speed limit
dont overtake when blind turn ahead
avoid 99% to use hand brake
always maintain gap in between your front car
pay more attention on driving
more important ! before leaving ur home town inspect / refresh ur car brake shoes

Okay, So here i am after the 1SZ-FE this is my second Vitz, 1Kr-FE, What are the known problems and solution for this car?

I havnt had a CVT before, So getting used to it will take time,

I felt that wen i accelerate the car (full throtle) it feels that the RPM increase but the car doesnt moves any faster). Is it because of bad CVT, CAT or sparkies?

Other then that i noticed that on bumps etc the headlights vibrate,

Besides that the car is simply zaberdast to drive.

And wao, ididnt knew this car has 6 airbags standard.

Congrats on your purchase!!! Yes CVT is great to drive. Ask me I have a 1.0L Belta and doenst feel like its a 1.0L. Great pick.

What's the original mileage? Accordingly, you'll have to go step by step. Check and see if the spark plugs need replacement but it never hurts to replace them anyways. Change engine oil and filter, airfilter as a first step and then see.

bro use b and s for hilly areas
rule of them . the gear u use 2 climb up , descend in the same gear n ull be safe n wont strain ur car

n its an auto tranny so da best thing 2 do to nt strain the eng n trans is whn u c a steep climb ahead so start accelerating in advance , dun put the pedal to floor 1nce da climb starts , accelerate before that n go in a motion n ur vitz wont disappoint u
n for download hill descend i switch between s and b depend on slope n speed of my car
have also taken my vitz 1L beyond naran 30 to 40 kms ! a great ryd just have to be careful abt ground clearance

[salmanrasheedpsh]

whn u put pedal down to the floor in auto 1szfe it simply downshifts n flies but 1krfe wid cvt doesnt do dat , it has great acceleration wid pedal upto 3/4th pushed after that its pick doesnt increase much if ur drag type driver da older 1 is better n for normal driving 1krfe wid cvt great pick up for overtakes n normal driving but nt for fast driving as in dragging

Got the car tuned around 3 days back, got 2000 worth of Petrol, previusly added 1000rs worth hi-octance, the tank was 3/4 full, added a bottle of fuel treatment as well (just for the sake of trying one) costed 300 a bottle.

The plugs were dirty, but were good enough so got them cleaned and regapped and reinserted, Got the throtle body sprayed from above only, The vibration on A/C has declined almost finished, Now i just feel when i drive and put it to N after D, theirs a little vibration and comes to normal idle.

That's normal for a little vibration on N. I feel it sometimes. Where do you get ur plugs regapped from? Do they do it with some equipmentt?

[Docjunaid]

I had the same issue, engine vibrations on start up & after breaks were applied. After consulting i installed voltage stabilizer & now this problem is GONE

if its normal ican live with it :), i get it done from PSO kh-e-itehad, khan motors can do it aswell, you can get it done while standing their it takes hardly 15-20 mins in the whole process, They used the feeler gauge (what ever it is called) and adjusted gapping im not sure how much mm was the gapping.

Altho in @jz's spark plug thread he mentioned iridium tip can be damaged so they should be adjusted/gapped using a plas tool
