Yes, but every time you switch from R to D the button turns off again. If you're backing and filling a trailer, or as per the original poster, hauling bikes on a carrier, this becomes very annoying, very quickly.

Note that the manual states that the air-conditioner must be run frequently (at least once per month IIRC) to prevent seals from drying out. This could be an issue for members who prefer to disable their air-conditioning during the winter months. Note that running the heater with the...

Unfortunately, alucid didn't receive any charging cables...

If you fit a 'trailer socket' on the back of the car, you can get one that disables the rear parking sensors every time the socket lid is lifted. To make that work, you could plug in a dummy plug, every time you hang the bikes on the back of the car. I tow a kayak trailer and regret not...

In my model, that mode is triggered every 6 months, if I haven't consumed sufficient fuel during this time. I suspect that newer models run that process every three months. The vehicle goes into that mode to protect all the components of the fuel system from gumming, where stale fuel blocks...

I'd like to second the idea of getting your wheel alignment checked. Take it to a specialist tyre place and tell them your concerns. A good tyre company will check all your steering components (and the wheel balancing) before attempting a wheel alignment. It's awkward to check wheel bearings...

The usual problem is that the device connects back up to the home wifi halfway through the pairing process. To prevent this, 'forget' the home wifi settings before trying to setup the app, or take the car somewhere else, where it will not be able to link to another known wifi.

I live in a dry part of Australia, so this issue is much reduced compared to the UK experience. However, I have seen mold around the tail lights during winter, and found that it was easy to clear out using a pressure washer. I recommend that you give that a go.

The problems are very commonly caused by a 12V battery that is dying.

It will probably mean that your range meter (AKA the guessometer) will be more pessimistic about your battery range. As long as that doesn't bother you, you should be fine.

Yes, in older models at least. It's a different style, and connects to the car via wifi.

Hahah! This is my favourite topic. Check for heating timers. My car was losing power from the traction battery, because a previous owner (or perhaps the dealer) had set timers to heat my car twice per day. This uses quite a lot of power from the traction battery. :)

It's probably worth looking to see if that air box suits other Mitsubishi models. In manufacturing, if you can use one component to suit multiple models, then you do so, because it reduces your overheads. In this case, I'm prepared to guess that the same box is used on different models, and...

I have a favourite story about these 'guessometers'... My brother towed a trailer carrying a huge water tank out into the country. Naturally that seriously reduced the instantaneous mileage of his car. All the way home, his guessometer kept increasing the range remaining as if petrol was being...

I was assuming that rocket switch may be another name for 'missile switch'... Here's a local autoparts store that calls them rocket/missile switches: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/aeroflow-red-covered-missile-switch/SPO3817894.html

Noice.

Hiya, Yes, the reversing camera is automatic, but you may not have one. I don't think that folding mirrors were an option for the PHEV in 2014 (in Australia). If you have the powered boot, there should be a suspicious bulge on the left hand side rear pillar and a metal arm that pushes the...

One thing to check is the sequence of steps you are using. I believe the steps are supposed to be: 1. Plug the charger box into the power supply. 2. Turn the charger box on. 3. Plug the charger into the car. When you perform step 3. make sure that you hear/feel the click of the plug when it...

It may be a convention that was established with earlier, manual transmission vehicles. To me, it has seemed natural, since I first started driving vehicles with floor shifts. Pressing a button to put the vehicle in 'Park' surprised me, but now it happens automatically. (Park button...

Getting this fixed in a couple of weeks, along with the regular service. They asked me to confirm which 'dust boots' had died, so I had a look. The boots on the shock absorbers, inside the front springs, have absolutely collapsed. I'm stunned that they are in such bad condition. It looks like...
