Q: My Lancer has two 12V accessory outlets. What devices can be plugged int\
o 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 electri\
cal fuse opening (no current flow).
Q: I only have one remote for the remote start system on my Lancer. 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 t\
raffic 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 driv\
en 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 t\
ire 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 fore\
ign 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. Befor\
e calling your dealership, make sure the fuel cap is fully engaged and
you have heard three clicks when tightening it. After checking and heari\
ng three clicks and driving for a while, if 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 sw\
itch 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.\
