I was doing some mild off roading today and clipped the underside twice whilst going over the apex of a sharp ridge. I checked the underside thinking it might be bad but there's no visible damage to the underside (from what I could see from sticking my head to the ground) and no visible damage...

I've never used the app since buying new from the dealer and so have never registered the app. Do I also have to go through this process?

By cruising at the slightly slower 60mph with the "Charge" button pressed you will also be using the petrol engine more efficiently to produce power for the battery. As long as this battery power is used in stop/start (city) driving it is better than cruising on 70mph with an empty battery on...

"Peter Pan's Playground"?

I have just fitted the above item to the Outlander MY16. I had to make several adjustments from the recommended Outlander settings (which are based on the MK III 2013 model) Has anyone else fitted this cycle carrier and used it successfully? I'm hoping it won't fall off!! :o

When I have the seats down it is more noticeable, but does anyone else hear a high pitched "whistle" from the rear when accelerating in EV mode? I have a MY16.

Fair point.

But if you travelled at 110kph then would the engine be in the "Charge mode Sweet Spot" for providing enough power to maintain your speed on a flat road and enough power to charge the battery to full in about an hour (I'm guessing here). This would be a good test I think?

Pretty cool. So it looks like the data from your graph shows that max recharging rate if you were to press the charge button would be at around 110km/h? (On a flat road) Have I understood correctly?

What do the red and blue lines, and the axis represent please?

There is a powerpoint in the boot. I have a GX4HS MY 16.

Wow, these photos are amazing. Did you take these yourself earlier this year? I wonder if there will be any snow for my trip in two weeks (my pictures will not look as good :roll:)

We're doing the southern part of the "North Coast 500" but will also be driving through the Applecross and Aberfeldy -> Dalwhinnie peaks.

Does anyone know how you turn the MMCS display off when one wants to use their smartphone for most activity?

Thanks all. I will invest in some winter tyres before I drive to the Alps next year. For this Scotland trip, I guess the Outlander is good "Straight out of the box" then :)
