Battery Saver On/Battery Saver Mode
Message — Electrical Load Reduction
Actions — If Equipped
This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Battery Sensor (IBS) to perform additional
monitoring of the electrical system and status of
the vehicle battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system
failure, or the vehicle battery conditions are
deteriorating, electrical load reduction actions
will take place to extend the driving time and
distance of the vehicle. This is done by reducing
power to or turning off non-essential electrical
loads.
Load reduction is only active when the engine is
running. It will display a message if there is a
risk of battery depletion to the point where the
vehicle may stall due to lack of electrical supply ,
or will not restart after the current drive cycle.
When load reduction is activated, the message
“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will
appear in the instrument cluster .
These messages indicate the vehicle battery has
a low state of charge and continues to lose
electrical charge at a rate that the charging
system cannot sustain.
NOTE:
• The charging system is independent from load
reduction. The charging system performs a
diagnostic on the charging system continu-
ously.
• If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it
may indicate a problem with the charging
system. Refer to “Battery Charge Warning
Light” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
The electrical loads that may be switched off
(if equipped), and vehicle functions which can
be affected by load reduction:
• Heated Seat/V ented Seats/Heated Wheel
• Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
• HV AC System
• 115V AC Power Inverter System
• Audio and Telematics System
