FAQ's
Q:
I am having trouble with my Power Liftgate working properly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Am I doing something wrong?
A:
First check the ACTIVE/OFF button located below the climate control unit and check to see that this button is set to ACTIVE. If so, then you will
find that the system needs to have ALL the doors unlocked for the unit to work properly. If only the driver's door is unlocked, the power liftgate
button will not work.
Q:
My Outlander has two 12V accessory outlets. What devices can be plugged into these outlets?
A:
Both of these outlets are protected with 15 amp fuses. Always check the current draw rating of any device prior to use in the vehicle. If the
device is rated above 12 amps, this could lead to circuit overload and the electrical fuse opening (no current flow).
Q:
How can I get the MPG stated on the window sticker?
A:
Vehicle driving styles will greatly affect MPG. Avoid sudden abrupt starts from a stop and let the vehicle coast to the traffic light. Both of these
styles will increase mileage and reduce brake lining wear.
•
Vehicles are designed to achieve the best fuel mileage when they are driven at the speed limits on the freeway. Avoid driving over 65 mph.
•
Under inflated tires will increase rolling resistance and will reduce fuel mileage. Check tire pressure frequently to increase miles per gallon.
Proper tire pressure also ensures optimum tire performance (including tire wear.)
Q:
How does the Navigation System choose a certain route?
A:
The system takes into account traffic conditions, road types, distance and road width to recommend the route.
Q:
Why do my Rain Sensing Windshield Wipers operate on their own when it's not raining?
A:
•
When the lever is in the AUTO position, the rain sensor detects rain or snow and automatically turns on the wipers.
•
The wipers may automatically operate when things such as insects or foreign objects are affixed to the windshield on top of the rain sensor
or when the windshield is frosted over.
•
To stop the wipers, place the lever in the OFF position.
Q:
Why does my check engine light come on after I put gas in my car?
A:
There are many reasons why your check engine light may illuminate. Before calling your dealership, make sure the fuel cap is fully engaged and
you have heard three clicks when tightening it. After checking and hearing three clicks and the light is still on, contact your dealership.
Q:
How do I use the emergency key when the F.A.S.T.-key battery or vehicle battery is run down?
A:
If your Outlander is equipped with a One Touch Start button and the door does not open, take the key out from the fob and unlock the door
manually. Put the key back into the fob and insert it into the slot provided below the Climate Control Switches. Starting the engine and changing
the operation mode should now be possible. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the key slot after starting the engine or changing the operation mode.
