Propulsion Power
Messages
PROPULSION POWER IS
REDUCED
This message displays when the
propulsion power is reduced and
can affect the ability to accelerate.
If this message is on, but there
is no reduction in performance,
proceed to your destination.
The performance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is driven.
The vehicle may be driven at a
reduced speed while this message
is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
If this message stays on when
the malfunction indicator lamp is
on, the vehicle should be taken to
your dealer for service as soon as
possible.
This message can display when
driving in mountainous terrain
without using Mountain Mode or by
not entering Mountain Mode soon
enough to build a sufficient battery
charge reserve before climbing
steep grades. This is normal
operation to protect the high
voltage battery. Only if both
the PROPULSION POWER IS
REDUCED message and the
malfunction indicator lamp are
on should the vehicle be taken
to the dealer for service.
While climbing the grade with this
message displayed, the vehicle
speed may be reduced until the
engine can recover the battery
state of charge to a normal level.
See “Mountain Mode” under Driver
Selected Operating Modes on
page 9‑26.
