Hi folk... new to this forum and new to the phev.
I am curious to know if this is a fault, I am experiencing, or if this is a quirk of an Outlander PHEV that I have to get used to. But...
It seems , quite prevalent , that when I put the car into reverse on a slope ( not even a very steep one, if I'm honest, the car will move forward, down the slope, just like you would in a manual car without the hand brake on. It even does this, to a lesser extent, when the auto hold is on. It's as if reverse isn't engaged until I press the accelerator.
Is this normal ( it doesn't feel it to me ), can I be doing something wrong ( always a possibility ) or is this a fault that I need to get the dealer to sort out ( distinct possibility ).
Your opinions would be appreciated.
