New PHEV owner here in Canada

Hi Farklepilot, I am also a new owner of Outlander PHEV 2023 GT-P, since last December, from Quebec province. Also looking for more info and gaining knowledge, as it is not so easy to master the best way to drive this new technological car. I can only say that I am very happy so far. Hope to learn tricks that I can share…

Best I've learned so far is the way to lock it into EV mode. Hit start WITHOUT foot on brake, select EV mode, foot on brake and hit start. Did 75k today without motor starting at 2degrees ambient.

Hi everyone I'm a new owner from Oakville, Canada, we mentioned the car in March, and everything is in good use, just one thing I don't understand, why when we reverse the car, the engine There is a lot of noise, but there is no noise when driving normally. What's going on next time? Is this normal?

I don't think that lot of noise is normal. One thing I am sure, the car is rather quite silent usually while driving. Maybe you hear the electring motor whining ?

I've noticed that the pedestrian warning seems system is louder when in reverse than when going forward.
