You have toggle the instrument cluster switch (odometer mileage) until you see brightness meter. Long press the switch until you get the desired brightness.

SUV, nahulog sa Pasig River

Ayon kay Senior Supt. Rogelio Simon, hepe ng Makati Police, nakaparada sa lugar ang isang Toyota Fortuner sa bahagi ng Guadalupe northbound nang bumaba ang driver nito.

Ngunit naiwang nakabukas ang makina ng sasakyan at nasa loob ang isang pasahero nang bigla itong umatras at mahulog sa ilog. Kinilala ang pasahero na si Erlinda Francisco, VP for operations ng PAG-IBIG NCR.

Ayon sa driver ng company-issued SUV na si Luis Ponciano, inangat niya ang handbrake bago lumabas ng sasakyan.

Nakita naman ng mga pulis na nakaangat ang handbrake gaya ng kwento ni Ponciano.

Ayon sa traffic investigator na si SPO2 Wilson Nacino, tinitingnan ng pulisya ang mechanical failure bilang dahilan ng pag-atras ng sasakyan.

Ayon kay Pangan, ipapaimbestiga rin nila ang nangyari sa manufacturer ng sasakyan.

^ sad to hear about that. i guess m/t siya at naka nuetral nung umatras mag isa iyong fortuner.

medyo naalala ko tuloy iyong vios na nahulog din sa pasig river a few years back. different circumstances but same tragic , watery result

in this situation, a window hammer would've been handy i guess.

i must say though , kung sa montero nangyari ito, puputaktihin ang thread na ito at sasabihin nanaman na sua ang incident na ito.

Happened on our old ride before.
Umatras at nabangga yung kariton ng isang vendor kahit naka engage ang handbrake. Buti walang ibang nadamay since pumunta sa kabilang street yung sasakyan.

Turns out, the cable snapped... Or so what i remembered.

Sh!t happens lang talaga. Malas nya nahulog sa river.

That's why I make it a habit even before to make sure to shift to "P" when parked. Handbrakes are just not reliable enough. This is for AT vehicle. For MT, guess you really have to turn the engine off and put it into gear. Safer.

for some reason, my toyota handbrake levers feel "engaged" as there is some resistance already.
but in truth, hindi pa engaged.
i have to exert extra oomph.
and for extra measure, i put the stick to P or to segunda.
and remember that the stick is on segunda, when i start her later.

i should really have my handbrakes re-adjusted.

when the handbrake cable snaps while being pulled, it is immediately apparent. nawawala ang resistance on pulling.
but if it snaps later, when the car is un-attended...
karitons beware.
heh heh.

Any reason why segunda and not primera? Was just wondering...

yun po ang tinuro ng father ko.
yun din ang ginagamit ko when push-starting.
force of habit, i guess.

I see. Kala ko may scientific reason behind it.
I thought i was doing it wrong na primera ang ginagamit.
