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 Some Systems May Have
Reduced Power" 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 continuously.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it

may indicate a problem with the charging
system Ú page 127.
The electrical loads that may be switched off (if
equipped), and vehicle functions which can be
affected by load reduction:
Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel

Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors

HVAC System

115 Volt AC Power Inverter System

Audio and Telematics System

Loss of battery charge may indicate one or more
of the following conditions:
The charging system cannot deliver enough

electrical power to the vehicle system
because the electrical loads are larger than
the capability of the 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
+12 Volt, 115 Volt AC, USB ports) during
certain driving conditions (city driving,
towing, frequent stopping).
