Q: Is my phone compatible with the factory Mitsubishi Bluetooth® Hands Free System?
A:   Check the phone approval list, www.mitsubishicars.com/owners to see if the phone is Bluetooth® approved.
Q.  Why doesn’t my device (USB, iPhone, Bluetooth® Audio, etc.) work?
A:  You need to press the Mode button to select the appropriate device you want to use.
Q:  How do I use Bluetooth® Audio (if equipped)?
A:  Turn the Audio System power on. Press the CD button several times until B (Bluetooth®) is shown. Connect your Bluetooth® device 
via pairing mode. Playback will start automatically.
Q:  How do I transfer calls from Bluetooth® back to my mobile phone’s handset?
A:  While on the call, press the speech button on your steering wheel and, once prompted, say “Transfer Call.”
Q:    Why does the FUSE Hands-free Link System™ take so long to upload my music from my audio music device?
A:   The Mitsubishi system can read multiple device structures in order to catalog the music files for easy playing and listening. 
Depending on the amount of music you have on your device, this may take a few minutes.
Q:    What are the different ways of playing music from my portable music player through the stereo system in my vehicle, when 
equipped with the FUSE Hands-free Link System™?
A:  There are three ways of playing music through your vehicle’s sound system.
	 •	 USB	port	-	The	FUSE	system	will	find	the	songs	in	your	device	and	categorize	them	according	to	Artist,	Album,	and	Genre.	Then	 you can have the FUSE 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 FUSE system, you can stream music from your device through the  FUSE 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.
	 •	 RCA	auxiliary	ports	-	Music	can	be	played	through	a	vehicles	stereo	system	via	the	head	phone	port	of	your	music	device	(An	 RCA to mini headphone jack adapter cable will be needed) Voice command is not available.
Q:  Why can’t I control the music track selection via voice commands while Bluetooth® streaming?
A:  The Mitsubishi system uses AVRCP 1.3 (Audio video Programing system) which does support song information (title, artist, track, 
etc.). However, you must have a device that also supports AVRCP 1.3 to supply that information to the Mitsubishi system.
Q:   My Outlander 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.
FAQ ’ s FAQ ’ s
Q:  My Outlander has two 12V accessory outlets. What devices can be plugged into these outlets?
A:  Both of 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:  I only have one remote for the remote start system on my Outlander. Can I get a second one?
A:  No. Only one remote can be programmed per vehicle for security reasons. 
Q:  How can I get the MPG stated on the window sticker?
A:  Vehicle driving styles will greatly affect MPG. Avoid sudden abrupt starts from a stop and let the vehicle coast to the traffic light. 
Both of these styles will increase mileage and reduce brake lining wear.
	 •	 Vehicles	are	designed	to	achieve	the	best	fuel	mileage	when	they	are	driven	at	the	speed	limits	on	the	freeway.	Avoid	driving	 over 65 mph.
	 •	 Under	inflated	tires	will	increase	rolling	resistance	and	will	reduce	fuel	mileage.	Check	tire	pressure	frequently	to	increase	miles	 per gallon. Proper tire pressure also ensures optimum tire performance (including tire wear.)  
Q:  How does the Navigation System choose a certain route?
A:  The system takes into account traffic conditions, road types, distance and road width to recommend the route.
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.
Q:  Why do my Rain Sensing Windshield Wipers operate on their own when it’s not raining?
A:	 •	 When	the	lever	is	in	the	AUTO	position,	the	rain	sensor	detects	rain	or	snow	and	automatically	turns	on	the	wipers.		
	 •	 The	wipers	may	automatically	operate	when	things	such	as	insects	or	foreign	objects	are	affixed	to	the	windshield	on	top	of	the	 rain sensor or when the windshield is frosted over.
	 •	 To	stop	the	wipers,	place	the	lever	in	the	OFF	position.
Q:  Why does my check engine light come on after I put gas in my car?
A:  There are many reasons why your check engine light may illuminate. Before calling your dealership, make sure the 
  fuel cap is fully engaged and you have heard three clicks when tightening it. After checking and hearing three clicks and
   the light is still on, contact your dealership.
Q:  How do I use the emergency key when the F.A.S.T. key battery or vehicle battery is run down?
A:  Remove the emergency key from the F.A.S.T key fob and manually unlock the door. Once inside the vehicle remove the
  ignition switch cover by pressing the release buttons on the top and bottom of the ignition switch cover. Once the
  ignition switch cover is removed insert the emergency key into the ignition switch then re-insert (backwards) the
  F.A.S.T. key fob onto the emergency key. Once the F.A.S.T. key fob is re-inserted (backwards) turn the emergency
  key to start the engine.
