I don't see a dedicated Outlander Sport forum, but from what I gather, it's a totally different vehicle than the Outlander, so where do I go for information? Is this the right forum?

Mine is a 2014 Outlander Sport, FWD, CVT transmission, Push to start.

Questions so far:
Where can I get a repair manual? It appears that Haynes and Chilton have no interest in this vehicle. That's a new one for me. I've always bought a book for every car I've owned. I was shocked that there's no book for this car. Where will I get torque numbers? I do a lot of my own repairs, so this is pretty critical for me.

Can I really pair my own remotes once I have two working ones? Cursory research yields conflicting reports. I unfortunately only have one fob, so I'm going to have to pay someone to make me a second, but if I can make a third one myself, then I'll want to do that as a backup in case a primary fob ever gets lost or destroyed.

Are there any gotchas I should be aware of? What are the trouble spots? What needs extra love?
