giddyup Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I recently bought a Mitsu Triton and all the manuals, both Drivers and SatNav are naturally in Thai, but considering how many new cars are sold to falangs, surely they could supply an English copy on delivery of the vehicle, instead of having to order one, pay for it and then wait at least a month to get it. I can't get a hard copy English version of the Speednavi V4.0, have tried Mitsubishi Thailand with no success, so have asked a friend in Oz if he can get one for me. I have no hope of working out how to use the sat/nav without an English manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm surprised Mitsubishi Thailand can not help you. So far my experience has been that manuals are available in English, foc, but the dealers don't always know and obstruct the process of getting one sometimes. But I have received manuals for Isuzu 2x and Mazda 1x without problems. Nissan was more difficult because the dealer obstructed, but one phonecall to Nissan Bangkok solved that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no problem getting an English Driver's Manual, why a one month wait beats me though, and why should I have to pay for it, but no English copies of the Speednavi manual available, which is ludicrous.

KhunBENQ Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 What annoys me even more: why don't the car companies supply such material for download? Best would be: enter vehicle identification number and get the download in your desired language. Most of the sources for online manuals I have tried are "dubious"/suspect. In the end I was available to download a manual for my Mazda in my language. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yes, such a long wait and having to pay quite a high price is bad service. It's not as if the vehicle was only sold in Thailand. Some manufacturers seem to be much more helpful about this either by providing English-language manuals quickly for free, or by making them available online which seems the most obvious and sensible solution anyway. Who needs a paper manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to be able to keep it in the glove box for easy reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly that techie minded anyway, and memorising the manual on the computer and then remembering what I've read and trying to operate the sat/nav in the car might be beyond my capabilities.

There may be stats of numbers sold to foreigners, but to farang I don't think so. Don't forget there are quite a few Japanese and other Asian nationalities here as well, where quite often an English manual would do no good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
