Regarding gear shifting - I agree with you. When I gave my vehicle for the 1000 kms check-up, I mentioned it to the service advisor/supervisor. His reply was that it will become smooth after some time - possibly after 5K check-up. I was not very convinced with the reply, will have to wait and see. Otherwise, I feel that the vehicle is running very well, my eyes have been on the FE that I can finally hope to get after the engine has settled down (maybe post 5k kms). Thanks. | |

![]() Another thing noted is lot of mist forming outside glass during night drive. Tried various a/c setting but still unable to fix. Quote:

1. Ensure that the vent is not directed upward, that is it is not throwing air towards the glass as many of us do it to escape AC's chill 2. Use wiper for a little while 3. Open the windows slightly 4. Open fresh air duct The glass should dry itself up after 5/10 minutes. The mist/dew usually forms when the relative humidity is high. It found on the side of glass which is exposed to higher temperature. That's why during monsoons it is formed on the outer side while during winters it is on the inside. Perhaps herein lies the advantage of ACC. Last edited by anandjha : 17th September 2012 at 16:42. | |

Since all of my long drives involve all night driving I installed these upgraded lights. So far they have done an amazing job in lighting the road. | |

| ![]() The Lxi and Ldi versions do not have head rests for the second and third row passengers. Is it possible to get those head rests fitted either in showroom or outside ? how much will be the cost ? Any idea. |

| ![]() Read this in carkhabri.com. Not sure whether this has been posted before in this forum or elsewhere. Thought of posting it here for the benefit of those looking for AT version of Ertiga. Quote:

I desperately want this upholstery change to take place - the beige interiors are the only put off on Ertiga right now | |

The existing ertiga ZDI has waiting periods of 6+ months. i doubt with woes like Manesar and new pipeline products like XA Alpha etc, they would concentrate on a black interior on a vehicle selling so well. If at all you are concerned about maintenance, go in for dark seat covers, so that the area to maintain is lesser. | |

| ![]() Is there an Ertiga specific PDI checklist available on this forum or should I use the generic PDI checklist available here? My Ertiga is expected in a day or two. |

| ![]() The 1st service at 1000 km cost me INR 0. The FE has settled to 15.5 with 99% city and 100% A/C at position 1. I am quite happy with the FE. However, I would like to add 2 -ves in the list: 1. Turbo - Lag - Sometimes, especially in hyd bumper - 2 - bumper traffic, this is REALLY annoying. In cases, I could feel the boost coming at 2100+ RPM. 2. Suspension - This is becoming a big issue on Ertiga. The rear passengers are complaining that the entire shocks from bad roads are getting moved to cabin. I suspect that they have reused the swift's suspension in its bigger and heavier cousin - ertiga.

| ![]() They may have used a different/better suspension initially to get favorable reviews, but once the sales gained traction they changed over to Swift/Dzire suspensions. This trick is also possible. |
