Q: What is the Acoustic Vehicle Alert System?
A: This system emits a low-volume sound to alert pedestrians the vehicle is approaching while running in EV mode. The alarm has a
different pitch depending on speed.
Q: My Outlander PHEV has two 12V accessory outlets. What devices can be plugged into these outlets?
A: 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: What are the different ways of playing music from my portable music player through the stereo system in my vehicle?
A: There are two ways of playing music through your vehicle’s sound system.
• USB port - The system will find the songs in your device and categorize them according to Artist, Album, and Genre. Then you can
have the audio system find and play the song in your device that you prefer without physically searching your device. This is done via
voice commands.
• Bluetooth
®
Streaming - Once your device is paired to the system, you can stream music from your device through the audio system to
your vehicles' sound system. No wires or cords. Your music stops and restarts at the same song when you exit and when you re-enter
the vehicle. Voice commands are not available. Please refer to your Owner's Manual for instructions.
Q: What happens if I turn off the vehicle when it’s not in park?
A: If you try to turn the Power switch OFF while in any position besides P, the vehicle will automatically return to the P position.
Q: My Outlander PHEV is equipped with “Micron Air Filtration.” Where is the filter located and does it need servicing?
A: The micron air filter is a small filter element which is located in the HVAC box just behind the lower glove box. The filter should be
inspected frequently for debris. The filter works well at filtering incoming air however the filter will clog and lead to reduced outlet air
volume if not serviced on a regular basis.
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.
