• BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
(battery saver active)
Appears if the vehicle detects
that the battery voltage is
dropping beyond a reasonable
point. When the battery
voltage drops, the battery saver
system will start reducing
power to certain features that
may not be noticeable. If a
feature must be disabled, this
message will be displayed to let
you know that the vehicle is
trying to save the charge in the
battery. Turn off any unneeded
accessories.
You can monitor battery volt-
age using the Driver
Information Center. The
normal range is 11.5 to 15.5
volts when the engine is run-
ning.
See "Vehicle Information
Menu" earlier in this section for
more information.
• BATTERY VOLTS LOW
(battery volts low)
Appears when the electrical
system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has
been drained. If it appears
immediately after starting, the
battery should recharge while
you are driving, but it may take
a few hours to do so. Consider
using an auxiliary charger to
boost the battery after you
arrive at your final destination.
If this message appears while
you are driving or comes on
after starting the vehicle and
stays on, have the electrical
system checked immediately.
To help the generator recharge
the battery quickly, turn off any
unneeded accessories.
The normal range is between
11.5 and 15.5 volts when the
engine is running.
