khrab Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 You guys here are awesome so I pop another question and hope I find advise: More than a year ago I bought a second hand Honda City 2010. Of course it came with a Thai language manual only. Since then I try to get a copy in English: I tried so far: The local Honda dealer: "can not". Honda Thailand HQ Bangkok did not even answer my email. Searched the net for a download link. Found only dead or wrong ones. Ended even up getting my cc charged. (But this is no point here). Out of desperation I contaced Honda Australia. (The Honda City is sold from India to New Zealand and almost anywhere in between.) Knowing that the Australien specifications are (slightly) different, I could live with that. Any driver's handbook covers all the features the model might get. Even the ones not in your car. So no big deal. I can well notice if there is no remote trunk release or no Bluetooth hands-free system. Anyway. Got a nice reply, the only one, from an Australien staff member telling he could not help because the Australien Citys are different. Of course! I Know! But it is still basiclly the same car. Now up to you: Any chance to get an English version. Hard copy or download. I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 You can get one from Honda, you just have to be persistent, from experience they tend not to respond to emails and usually a letter written to the CEO or similar works better - don;t expect dealers to do much for you since they wont make any money out of it, suggest you ask in your letter how you can "purchase" a manual..

Jitar Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Khrab, While you are battling with your Honda dealer, there is an English Manual for the Russian Honda Jazz at: http://www.hondatrading.ro/uploads/manuals/Manual_de_utilizare_Honda_Jazz.pdf Hope it has some relevance to your city.

stevenl Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So in stead of emailing why don't you just give Honda Thailand a call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khrab Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 So in stead of emailing why don't you just give Honda Thailand a call? Problem the right phone numner. I tried but might choose a wrong one. The web site quotes several. I was transfered, put on hold and after a long time waiting my call got "lost".

stevenl Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So you give up after 1 attempt in trying to reach a big cooperation? You may have to try a few times, but you will get through in the end and they will be able to get you a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khrab Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 Happy End after almost a year. Finally I got my Manual (download) from Honda Malasya! Honda Thailand never bothered even I tried again and again and..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2004 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I had to push to get an English manual for my Mitsubhishi Attrage. When i asked the dealer initially the reply was of course no can do. If you persist with the manufacturer they will get you one, cost me 500 baht. They obviously are available as these are global cars sold in English speaking countries.

Tuvoc Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 We just bought a new Fortuner, and were offered a manual in English. Did not have to even ask. But I guess is a different story if you already own a used car and need to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
