FAQ’s
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.

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 charging
the operation mode should now be possible. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the key slot after starting the engine or charging the operation mode.
