FRAYED STITCHING ON THE OUTER LAYER
OF THEACCESSORY DRIVE BELT — 2013-14
Outlander Sport. MMNA has received comments
about “frayed” stitching on the outer layer of the
accessory drive belt. This stitching is not
structural. It is used in belt production to hold
the outer layer of the belt together until it is fused
to the rest of the belt. Frayed stitching has no
affect on belt durability once production is
complete.
C Towing with rear wheel off the
ground.
D
Do not replace the accessory drive belt because of
frayed stitching.

CAUTION
This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using
sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper and front
end.
Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as
illustrated. This could result in the driving system
damage or vehicle may jump at the carriage.
If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use Type D or
Type E equipment.
If you suspect that a drive train issue
may be due to improper towing,
consult with your DPSM before
beginning any repairs.
Damage to drivetrain components
caused by improper towing is not
covered under warranty.
Additional questions about proper towing of
AWD vehicles should be directed to Techline.
DTC P0463 RECORDED IN PCM, FUEL
GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER — 2011-14
Outlander Sport, 2007-14 Outlander. Reports
from the field indicate DTC P0463 - Fuel Level
Sensor Circuit High Input may be set when the
level of fuel in the tank is extremely low (no bars
showing on the MID fuel gauge). Typically, this
condition has been reported at PDI. If fuel is
added and the DTC status changes from active to
stored, erase the DTC. If DTC P0463 can be
cleared after fuel is added to the vehicle, the low
fuel condition was the likely cause of DTC P0463
being set. Further diagnosis is not required.
