Greetings Members.

While slotting to R after a wash, the following error flashed on the dash.

After I restarted the error is gone.

Please suggest the course of action.


Note:
Yesterday finished a drive of 750 KMS.


Thank You.

From your description it seems a 'soft-code' error triggered after a drive cycle. It shouldn't come again. Shot the pin near the accelerator pedal, and hold ESP button while the key/push button is in acc on position to enter ESP maintenance mode For the peace of mind, get an OBD scan through suzuki diagnostic tool or similar device. Check for any previously stored DTC; if any, please do post here. Better get these steps done at any authorised SVC. Happy driving!

Same error popped up in my Jimny . Few days before, auto start/stop was glowing and service center did a software update and car was working fine. No there ESP error and also see hill hold error, checked under hood and see few wires have been chewed by rat. Suspecting this is the cause. Will be getting this checked at service center.

Very high quality product and fully adjustable. I installed this as DIY. Took around an hour to install this. Need to cut the seat cover and seat cushion very minimally to fit this.

How has your experience been using the dual armrest you have installed? Are there any trade-offs in terms of ergonomics or hindrances? And I guess the two cup holders remain untouched since these are installed on the sides of the seats.

Car came back, issue was related to the rat bite. Few wires were cut through and was repaired. After resolving the issue, found out left indicator was not working- another wire was cut. Service center rectified same too. Service center charges Rs 210 for the repair, now that's quite cheap!

It going strong without any issues, very comfortable.
It has to be adjusted to press the rear power window switches.
Yes, the cup holders are untouched.

Hi Sunil,
Could you please share the details of your contact at Kalyani? I'm looking for an Alpha MT. Thanks.

Okay, thanks for sharing.
Would it be possible to upload a top-angle view pic to have an exact idea as to how it's aligned with both the cup holder. If it is not too much to ask .

This color looks cool, pity it is not available here.

Finally, the day came: Jimny comes home in granite grey shade.

I have been thinking of taking a jimny from its launch time, however, the prices didn’t justify the package then. Then with heavy discount on offer, I didn’t find any other vehicle justify the price tag as a jimny did (@14 lakh), be it Fronx, Sonet, Venue etc. Above all, it a niche vehicle with a 4x4 setup which in unmatched and can be extremely useful for my use case in our valley. One always gets the confidence once you know the capability of the vehicle.

Finally, in late December, decided to bite the bullet and booked the top automatic trim. The color choice was a major issue and I was almost certain to get a blue black (at the same time concerned about those scratches and its maintenance). Fortunately, it went out of stock and I was only left with a grey choice, which I had not thought about. But it turns out, the grey is the best color for my use case, not too dark for the scratches/swirl marks to be too visible and not too light/flashy as well, very subtle color as @Samba pointed out. This color gets easily lost in the crowd and is not an attention seeker at all, which I like.

Coming to delivery, it was not at all special. Just went to NEXA, installed the accessories, made the payment and went on my way. The delivery experience in NEXA JAMKASH Srinagar was strictly below average.

Final ORP was about 13.95 Lakhs and I guess it is money well spent.

Here are some initial likes/dislikes after droving the vehicle for about 20 KM.

LIKES:

1. High seating position feels great
2. Makes one to go easy on the accelerator, as you know it is not a fast car (calm>>>safe driving)
3. Bad roads are no problem, jimny just glides over them
4. Although car looks small form outside, inside feels quite big with great visibility
5. Great view from side mirrors, they are huge
6. Solid built quality unlike other Maruti’s
7. Steering response felt good, don’t like ultralight steering (Hyundai), big turning radius didn’t bother me.

DISLIKES:

1. Transmission whine like autos (will get used to it)
2. Cramped footwell, can’t extend my left leg like I do in my Celerio
3. Barkes are spongy and need to be pressed hard for some bite
4. Ride felt a bit bumpy; I am sure the tyre pressure is high (need to check)

Thank you all Jimny owners for your wonderful insights and blogs/vlogs and the TEAM BHP for making my buying decision easier. This is my 2nd car after Ford Figo TDCI bought exclusively going through Team BHP threads. I hope it will serve me well like the FIGO did.

Cheers!!!

Thank you very much. Looking forward to your observations and you too have a great time with this cute little car.

Does any body know where can I get the summit seeker body graphics in white, only darker color is available with NEXA and MGA website.

Many congratulations! I see that you live in Srinagar and I can only say that you possibly have the best vehicle for the terrain.
Owning and driving a Jimny is an acquired taste. It is not for everyone. You have to understand the car, its performance & limitations and tailor your driving habits accordingly. It is a very mechanical, simple, old school machine. You have knobs, dials, levers, pedals which work with a reassuring heft to ensure your mobility.
It is not a digital touchscreen on wheels It involves the owner-driver to understand it, make him/her work and then drive it to its fullest.
And then when you snick the "little gear lever" into its chosen slot & venture out on that untrodden path, well, the world may just be your oyster.

Take care & drive safe,
Best wishes,
arjab

Thanks Arjab, I think you summed up nicely what I should have put up in my initial impressions. I already missed two snowfalls (in plains of course) this season before Jimny came and one time my Celerio (AMT) just refused to move on snow and put me in a very precarious situation. I understand its limitations and overall I am very happy with my purchase and the capabilities this little car has.

I am very eager to use that cute little gear lever when Jimny sets its tiny feet on snow, though I will have to wait a bit longer as I am moving out of state for a couple of weeks.
