No, I believe it means that everyones experience is as mine. Tried it - Found it totally useless - Forgot it. If forgotten, there is nothing to complain.

No. Brake lights are not lit when using B5. However, brake lights do work when ACC decelerates vehicle.

Something didn't add up here... Introduction: 1. Mitsubishi has said that the battery consists of 80 cells. 2. Also claimed that the battery consists of 3 departments. Problem: 1. 10x4 is not 80 2. Actually 40 nor 80 is not possible to divide by 3... Description: Open up the Mitsubishi parts...

Hi, Pretty much correct. When the system is in "Ready" - mode, there is a transformer that charges the battery from the 300VDC drive battery. However the dealer is incorrect on one thing. The 12V battery is not charged when the drive battery charge cable is connected. So, if you leave a door...

To be honest. If the place is reachable by a skilled driver in a 2WD vehicle. It will be a breeze in any 4WD vehicle. I also believe that the Outlander's 4WD works well in struggling conditions (ie. off-road or slippery uphill). I don't like the performance characteristics of the PHEV 4WD...

Oh yeah. :) Forgot to mention. Don't buy the biggest led cones you can find... The shape of the reflector is smaller inside the lamp, so yes. The big cone with 50 or so leds, will not fit without some extra work. I used a grinder on the cones to make them fit. I managed to grind about half a...

Hi, Was your previous car a 4WD? What was it? I wish you comment about your feelings after your trip. Be careful out there.

Just any bulb will do. I don't think PHEV has a blown bulb warning feature.

Ok, consider yourself corrected. 1. D mode equals to B2 in regenerative braking. So letting of the throttle starts charging with kinetic energy. 2. Six settings in B-mode. B0 = no regenerative braking, B2 = normal, B5 = max regen. 3. Pressing the brake pedal at least increases to charging like...

This video also verifies the times stated above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbOmtzFj14M

The 4WD systems works as it does in warmer climate. Both electric motors are working to drive all wheels. However the AWD system is not that good in PHEV. I am hoping for an update on ASC software that it should work better. Now the car feels like FWD car. You have to drive it around the...

Oh, yes it does... On three occasions - where the outside temperature had been below -15 Centigrade, I have had EV range showing "---" - with full battery. So the engine is running constantly (shutting down on deceleration), but the car refuses to drive electric at all. The power needle does go...

Sorry, this is the case as case said. :-( The only way to be in pure EV is to switch the heating (climate control) off and keep the your gas pedal on the green zone. You cannot select Pure-EV mode. Ever. No. You can't. In Finland all cars ar equipped with electric heating capability, but the...

Actually the normal driving light is HID and is excellent. The problem is in the high beam section that is regular halogen bulb. With the original bulbs one could actually still see the border of the headlamp-xenon even when the high-beam was lit. With those Osram Unlimited HB3 bulbs the border...

Hi I'll take the first stab... Overall: I'm happy. The car is mostly as I expected and haven't had anything relly wrong with the car, but a lots and lots of little things that could have been made better. After all the car cost a fair bit... The car is so much better than our previous Skoda...
