My Outlander is 2018, and it comes without a spare wheel. I had a serious puncture this week and needed to use the emergency can of gunge that's in the boot (trunk)! But no-one could tell me what to do with it and all the instructions are in German! Any clues from someone for the next time...

Is there any visual indication of when the 12 volt battery might be failing? How long do they typically last?

Both my key remote fob things often need several presses before the doors will lock or unlock: I sometimes use the black button by the door handle in frustration! I would assume that this is because of low batteries, except that they are new and I haven't had an alert to change them. Any ideas...

Is there any info out there for how much the increased fuel consumption is if you're asking the engine to charge the battery as well as power the wheels?

I've read lots of posts about the small size and rapid draining of the auxiliary battery when the car is parked for some time, but I can't see anything that tells me how it is actually charged! I assume the engine charges it, but do I have to select charge mode or does that only apply to the...

Just out of interest, how much wear on the battery does the stop/start system in hybrid mode create? I'm assuming that it runs off the lead-acid battery not the lithium drive one? Reason for asking - I used to have a Ford Kuga and had had to replace the battery after it died suddenly at only...

I've had an Outlander PHEV (2018) for a couple of months now and am pleased with it, but I'm still puzzled about the ECO button underneath the display screen. I've routinely turned it on whether I'm driving in EV mode or going on a longer journey with the "save charge" option using the full...

I have a 2018 PHEV Outlander. I can't work out how to have the radio on without having the car doors closed!!!! If I want to use it when parked, engine etc off, I have to lower the windows to get air and press the start button once to bring on the ancillary electrics. If I open the driver's...

Is there any way of shutting up the bleeps that go off if I want to sit with a door open but still have the radio etc on ??????

I'm trying to play MP3 music files via a flash drive through the USB sockets of my "new" 2018 PHE V Outlander. When I switch to the USB option on the main panel it asks me to plug in the device. When I do this the message stays the same and nothing happens. Am I being stupid? The manual says I...

Have I got these on my 2018 PHEV? I can't find a way of bringing them on if I have? Anyone know about this? Maybe some models just have the camera?

]I've just bought a 2018 PHEV Outlander - in the UK so it's right hand drive. The reversing camera is great for manoevering but I think it should bleep at me when I reverse back to a wall? It doesn't, and I can't find the button to press to make it. Perhaps my specific model doesn't have one...
