Engine Displacements Covered:
490cc (Outlander/Renegade 500), 660cc (Outlander 650), 810cc (Outlander/Renegade 800R), 1010cc (Outlander/Renegade 1000).
Horsepower And Torque:
Specific horsepower and torque figures vary by engine displacement (500, 650, 800R, 1000). The manual will contain these precise figures for each variant.
Fuel System:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) with throttle body and fuel pump assembly.
Infotainment Features:
While primarily functional, advanced models may include digital displays with diagnostics, odometer, trip meters, fuel gauge, and indicator lights. The manual covers the electronic management system and diagnostic interface.
Driver Assistance Systems:
Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS), which variable assist based on speed, is a key technological feature covered extensively in the manual for adjustment and repair.
Diagnostic Connectivity:
The manual details procedures for using diagnostic tools and understanding fault codes generated by the vehicle's ECU, crucial for modern electronic systems.
Typical Service Intervals:
Refer to manual for specific intervals, but generally includes oil changes (e.g., every 1500 miles or 100 hours), filter replacements (air, oil), spark plug checks, brake fluid checks, and valve adjustments at higher mileage intervals.
Cv Belt Inspection Interval:
Regular inspection for wear and damage is recommended, often at every oil change or 20-hour interval, with replacement based on condition.
Engine Oil Recommendation:
Typically uses a premium synthetic or semi-synthetic engine oil meeting API service classification SG, SH, SJ or higher, with viscosity grades like SAE 5W-40 or 10W-40, depending on operating temperature. Specific BRP recommendations should be followed. Manual will specify exact API and viscosity.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual will specify BRP-approved coolant or equivalent.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 4 brake fluid.
Gearbox Oil Specification:
Manual will specify suitable gear oil for front and rear differentials and the main gearbox, likely SAE 80W-90 or similar, meeting specific GL ratings.
Differentials Fluid Type:
GL-5 rated gear oil, often 80W-90 for both front and rear differentials.
Common Issues Addressed By Manual:
The manual provides in-depth troubleshooting for common issues such as CVT belt wear, overheating, electrical gremlins, starter problems, suspension wear, and drive system issues, offering detailed repair procedures to address them.
Emissions System Checks:
While less common in basic manuals, this factory manual likely includes checks for emissions-related components and potential issues.
