The preheating is crucial in winter Norway. An extremely irritating "feature" is that the heating turns off if you open a door, even the back door. This is very irritating when loading the car with luggage and children on a cold day. Why is it doing this? Is there a way to keep it on even if the...

There is a strange logic (or lack thereof) behind the graphical information of the PHEV as a EV, perhaps much less useful than it could be. The three dials all have 2 scales, the outher "double one" each "knot" between the double rings seems to be related to horsepower (about 750W), and for...

Supposedly the Eco button reduces AC power, but there is also an eco mode option in the settings of the MMCS. Does anybody know how these relates? 1) Does setting Eco in MMCS mean Eco is always on and that the Eco botton does not influence AC power 2) Is the MMCS Eco setting permissive, that is...

Regenerative breaking is discussed a lot. I guess one could have 3 different hypothesis for what gives the longest EV range: 1) B5 for most regeneration 2) B0 for long gildes 3) Some middle value like B2 which is the same a D and the PHEVS default value. Has anybody tested this more...

I dont understand the historical power diagram. It has the unit kWh. A unit for power would be kW. kWh is a unit for energy. Also max values like 2 kW (kWh?) seems a bit low. it is probably averaged over 6 or 5 min interval, but still. Anybody who knows what is the correct interpretation?

The manual says one should not repeatedly charge on top of the SOC. I wonder why? But I frequently use the preheater when connected. The 10 mA cable will only support up to 2400 kW so the battery will be drained somewhat. I then will let the car "rest" for perhaps 20-30 min and it will the...

AC can be defined as both cooling and heating the air, but is often used for the ability to cool the air. When AC is turned off by pressing the snowflake button is both heating and cooling turned off? Or just cooling? I have the 5hs version with the electrical water heater. One reason I am...

I was towing for first time yesterday, and most of the times I braked the car emitted a low bong warning sound, no warning light. Any explanations?

In the settings menu there is a tab at the bottom saying TP-standby it can be on or off. What is it for? I don't find it in the manual?

There are many posts about predicted EV range at the start of journey in this forum. Has anybody: 1) Compared the prediction to when on the trip counter the ICE starts? 2) What is the typical or realistic EV range you measure with the trip counter? 3) How good is the prediction?

I am wondering if the satnav system has a way of going to a destination without having to specity an address. Typically going to a big city, can one just specify City center or something like that? How? It is troblesome to have to put in a full address. For example TomTom always has City center...

Norway is paceful so sometimes with my current car I leave my kids in the car a couple of minutes, but I then like to lock the car, and I would leave with my keys for a few minutes. The user manual is rather pooly written, and the security system is rather complex. Will the movement of my kids...

Having read a couple of comparisons between cars, it seems a long pure EV range gives poor performance when the ICE is delivering the energy. eg. the Prius is much better than the Outlander ones the plug in energy is used up. The Prius has however 0-poor pure EV range depending on model. Also...

Has anybody found the MMCS manual in English on the net? I have seen the non-EV one, (regular Outlander) but not with the EV stuff. Strange it is not all on there from Mitshubishi, would be an improvement of ther product.

I am waiting for my PHEV, but have read the users manual on the net (a pirat copy). I am wondering: 1) Why is it so bad? Even I could have done better, the English is horrible, and it is really not very pedagogic. Compared to the development of the car (many millions) it is strange that so...
