At least, this is how it is in my 3L D4D version. @On the move: I would suggest you to go for it. It requires no wire splicing and is definitely a useful thing to have. | |

| ![]() What I don't understand is why such a basic feature like auto-folding mirrors is not a part of the feature kit itself. I guess Toyota's way of making their showrooms earn some more moolah. |

| ![]() Found this in the Fortuner’s owner group on Facebook, the bench seat has been converted into bucket seats. Look like they are Innova’s bucket seats. ![]() ![]() ![]() Located in Bangalore and number 9741148867 ps: Not associated in any way to the person.

| ![]() 2 week ownership Report: Everything is going smooth. The ride puts smile to everyone's face. Starting to get used to the size of the vehicle, and much more confident to maneuver in city traffic now. There is a notable dullness with ECO mode in city as well as on highway rides. Switch ECO mode off, and there is a notable difference in the throttle response, and the car feels much more at ease to move along. Yet to engage the power mode. Probably after 1,500 kms and first service. By the way, can someone guide as to the run in period - have covered about 1300 kms, and its been on 3-4 long rides of over 125 kms each - with the ECO mode activated and max. speed of 90-100 kmph. One random issue has started to show, and not sure yet, whether it is a problem or not. The push start button works as described during cold starts - you sit in, depress the clutch and press the button short but firmly, and the engine cranks. However, lets say you drove for 5-10 mins and then stopped to run an errand, and then try to start it again using the button and it goes through 3-4 cycles of ignition on and off, in and out of accessory mode, but engine doesn't crank - no self or starter - a click is heard everytime its goes in or out of the accessory mode. Then you let it rest for say 3-5 mins, and then try again - viola, the engine cranks in one go. First my wife reported it, and at that time it was brushed off assuming something was a miss in terms of the sequence - maybe she's not pressing the clutch firmly, or pressing the button in quick succession. But then the same issue is getting replicated with me and my two cousins as well. Not sure if we are doing anything wrong or missing some step. Our Pajero SFX has a turbo sticking issue, wherein if you don't let the engine idle for about say a minute before switching it off, the turbo sticks and the car doesnt respond or take the self unless it cools down after 10-15 mins or unless you disconnect and reconnect the battery connector. Not sure, if there is a problem with the starter kit or is there anything we are doing wrong with using the push button start. While being new to owning a vehicle with turbo diesel and push button start system, its not that we haven't used these before extensively. A cousin has a petrol city and others have a diesel creta, Elantra and a diesel seltos - no-one has haven't experienced this in either if these cars. Had drivel creta diesel automatic with push button start extensively for over 3 weeks, never once we face similar issue. Also we never experienced this in the first week if ownership (maybe we never encountered such situations before). It has only started to show now. Checked the manuals and online communities but couldn't see any reference to this issue - all point to weak batteries in car or in the keyfob, or improper pressing of the clutch pedal. Planning to get it thoroughly examined during the first service, but maybe if anyone can relate to what I am experiencing and confirm that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle and it is something that we are missing here ![]() ![]() Last edited by Sheel : 30th November 2020 at 10:34.

| ![]() ^^ No, this is not usual. You will have to get it checked. Do you know what’s month of manufacturing? Have you installed any electrical accessories? Looks like a battery issue or a lose connection. Do check battery terminal once. I don’t see anything major, worst case a bad battery, most likely deep discharged.

| ![]() Morning Update - in cold morning, again refused to start after multiple attempts. Then removed the keyfob cover (under suspicion that it may be blocking signal) - after few more attempts it sprung up again. Tried multiple attempts at switch on and off, after keeping the car on for about a minute or two before switching it off again - to avoid any undue pressure on the engine. But then later, after resting for sometime, it keeps repeating the issue inbetween - but more successes than false starts this time. Hopefully it stays fine till Monday, when it'll to go for its first service. |

| ![]() This is definitely not expected of an overpriced premium SUV from a brand that prides itself on impeccable quality! Please get it checked at ASC ASAP. Last edited by cool_dube : 28th November 2020 at 14:20. |

| ![]() Yes, both keys are showing same issue. Drove today for over 400 kms, had a couple of stops in between, no issues with startup this time, but a weird light came on before starting it up showing the message, "charging system malfunction". But the car started in one go, probably felt that took a split of a second extra, like that of a end of cycle battery. Going to service center tomorrow for first service and to check the issue. Attaching the error message and the explanation in the owners manual: Description in the manual: "Take your vehicle to your mechanic and have them test your battery strength. Drive belt troubles – A failed drive belt prohibits the alternator from doing its job and can cause the warning light to come on. Have your mechanic check the condition of your vehicle's drive belt. It could be faulty and need replacing." |

Overall satisfied with the service work and quality - like with the car, nothing fancy but efficient and effective. One area which might appear lacking to some is the premium treatment you get when you go to a german / European service centers - but i have nothing to complain about so long service work is efficient - and happy not to get unnecessary attention. Was able to complete my office work all day sitting in one corner on sofa with electricity connection. Inquired about accessories and not much was available in ready stock - not even the most sought after auto-folding module or the sun shades (which apparantly are ordered only on request). Didn't even bother inquiring for the 360 cam or the dash cam. Not many new deliveries or customer inquiries, only one Glanza and a Yaris were scheduled for delivery. Apparently, Etios has been discontinued and the slump in tourism business has hit Etios and Innova sales. Innovas are well stocked and selling at discount ![]() | |
