To reset the maintenance light for the Outlander, follow these steps: Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position. Repeatedly press the indicator selection button located at the lower right of the instrument panel until the information display switches to the maintenance cycle reminder. Then, press and hold the indicator selection button for more than 5 seconds to complete the maintenance light reset. Below is some relevant information about the Outlander: 1. The Outlander is a five-door SUV, but it differs from other Mitsubishi SUVs because it is the first SUV produced by Mitsubishi using a sedan chassis, based on the platform of the Mitsubishi Lancer sedan. It combines the comfort of a sedan with the characteristics of an SUV, offering good off-road capability and the spaciousness and versatility of an MPV. 2. In terms of exterior design, the Outlander features a robust front end, with an inverted triangular bulge on the engine hood extending down to the top of the bumper. The front air intake is split into two sections, and the lower part of the body slightly protrudes outward. 3. The interior is designed with seats positioned higher than those in a sedan, providing strong support and reducing fatigue. The steering wheel adopts the popular four-spoke design and is adjustable for height. 4. In terms of power, the Outlander is equipped with a 2.4-liter Mitsubishi 4G64S4M 16-valve multi-point fuel injection gasoline engine.

Clearing the maintenance reminder light on the Outlander is actually quite simple. I used to encounter this often when I first bought the car and was worried about missing service intervals. First, make sure the engine is off and the vehicle is not running. Then, press and hold the TRIP button near the steering wheel—the one used to toggle the odometer display. Next, turn the ignition key to the ON position without starting the engine, and wait about 10 to 15 seconds. The maintenance light on the dashboard will either blink a few times or turn off directly. Release the button and check—if it’s still on, you might need to try a few more times. I’ve noticed the system can sometimes get stuck, so turning it off and repeating the process helps. The maintenance reminder is a great feature to prevent delaying service, especially when the oil change interval is due, as it affects engine longevity. While driving, always remember to regularly check filters and brake fluid—safety comes first. Even after handling this yourself, I’d recommend getting a full inspection at the dealership. Don’t worry, even beginners can handle this—just practice a couple of times and you’ll get the hang of it.

Can I still drive on the highway without an ETC?

You can still drive on the highway without an ETC by obtaining a toll card at the entrance toll station and stopping to pay the toll at the exit toll station. ETC is a fully automatic electronic toll collection system and one of the service functions of intelligent transportation systems, particularly suitable for use on highways or in busy bridge and tunnel environments. Currently, highway toll stations have dedicated ETC lanes. Vehicle owners only need to install a sensor card on the windshield and preload funds. When passing through the toll station, there is no need for manual payment or stopping—the highway toll will be automatically deducted from the card, enabling automatic toll collection. This system processes each vehicle in less than two seconds, with a lane capacity 5 to 10 times that of manual toll lanes.

What causes shaking and vibration when stepping on the car brakes?

Reasons for shaking and vibration when stepping on the car brakes: 1. Problems with the brake pads and brake discs; 2. Severe unilateral wear of the brake disc; 3. Poor return of the brake pump. Compared to brake pads, brake discs wear out more slowly, and repair shops generally recommend replacing brake pads and brake fluid. After a certain period of use, brake discs may wear out, leading to uneven surfaces or thickness that does not meet standards, which can severely affect braking performance over time. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, and other transportation tools or machinery. The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force.

Where is the spare tire of the Encore placed?

The spare tire of the Encore is placed under the trunk panel. To install it, place the spare tire under the trunk panel and secure it with screws. Here are some important notes regarding the spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. The inspection mainly involves checking the tire pressure and looking for any wear or cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible if the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. 2. Avoid placing oil products near the tire. The main component of tires is rubber, which is highly susceptible to damage from oil products. If the tire comes into contact with oil, it may swell and corrode, significantly reducing its lifespan. 3. Replace the spare tire periodically. Since tires are made of rubber, they can age over time. The typical aging period for tires is about 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after this period.
