Cybersecurity - Dodge Charger SRT 392 2017 Operating Information Manual

• Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
• HVAC System
• 115V AC Power Inverter System
• Audio and Telematics System
Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or
more of the following conditions:
• The charging system cannot deliver enough
electrical power to the vehicle system be-
cause the electrical loads are larger than the
capability of charging system. The charging
system is still functioning properly.
• Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads
(e.g. HVAC to max settings, exterior and
interior lights, overloaded power outlets
+12V, 115V AC, USB ports) during certain
driving conditions (city driving, towing, fre-
quent stopping).
• Installing options like additional lights, upfitter
electrical accessories, audio systems, alarms
and similar devices.
• Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated
by long parking periods).
• The vehicle was parked for an extended
period of time (weeks, months).
• The battery was recently replaced and was
not charged completely.
• The battery was discharged by an electrical
load left on when the vehicle was parked.
• The battery was used for an extended period
with the engine not running to supply radio,
lights, chargers, +12V portable appliances
like vacuum cleaners, game consoles and
similar devices.
What to do when an electrical load reduction
action message is present ("Battery Saver
On" or "Battery Saver Mode")
During a trip:
• Reduce power to unnecessary loads if pos-
sible:
– Turn off redundant lights (interior or exte-
rior)
– Check what may be plugged in to power
outlets +12V, 115V AC, USB ports
– Check HVAC settings (blower, tempera-
ture)
– Check the audio settings (volume)
After a trip:
• Check if any aftermarket equipment was in-
stalled (additional lights, upfitter electrical ac-
cessories, audio systems, alarms) and review
specifications if any (load and Ignition Off
Draw currents).
• Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance,
driving time and parking time).
• The vehicle should have service performed if the
message is still present during consecutive trips
and the evaluation of the vehicle and driving
pattern did not help to identify the cause.

CYBERSECURITY

Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and
may be equipped with both wired and wireless
networks. These networks allow your vehicle to
send and receive information. This information
allows systems and features in your vehicle to
function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain secu-
rity features to reduce the risk of unauthorized and
unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless
communications. Vehicle software technology
continues to evolve over time and FCA US LLC,
working with its suppliers, evaluates and takes
appropriate steps as needed. Similar to a com-
puter or other devices, your vehicle may require
software updates to improve the usability and
performance of your systems or to reduce the
potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful access
to your vehicle systems.
The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to
your vehicle systems may still exist, even if the
most recent version of vehicle software (such as
Uconnect software) is installed.
