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: Why does my Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) make a noise?
A: Each time your vehicle is started and driven a short distance, you will hear the sound of the ABS motor operating from the right front engine
compartment. This is the normal sound the Anti-Lock Braking System makes when performing a self check.
Q: How can I get the MPG stated on the window sticker?
A: Vehicle driving styles will greatly affect MPG.
• Avoid sudden starts from a stop and let the vehicle coast to a 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: 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 FAST-key battery or vehicle battery is run down?
A: If your Outlander is equipped with a Start/Stop Engine Switch and the door does not unlock, 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 FAST-key from the key slot after starting the engine or changing the operation mode.
