The Outlander is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by Japan’s Mitsubishi Motors Corporation since 2001. The second-generation Outlander XL shares its platform with two French models, the Citroën C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007, which are virtually identical. These vehicles were introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in July 2007. In this article, we provide detailed fuse box diagrams and relay assignments for the Mitsubishi Outlander XL (second generation; chassis codes CW1W, CW2W, CW4W, CW5W, CW6W; GS platform) for model years 2007 through 2012.
Below you will find the locations, diagrams, and photos of the fuse and relay boxes. Fuses responsible for key circuits, such as the “Cigarette Lighter” and “Fuel Pump,” are highlighted in bold.
