44 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
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
because the electrical loads are larger than
the capability of charging system, even
though the charging system is still func-
tioning properly.
Turning on all possible vehicle electrical

loads (e.g. HVAC to max settings, exterior and
interior lights, overloaded power outlets
+12 Volts, 115 Volt AC, USB ports) during
certain driving conditions (city driving,
frequent 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 12 Volt battery was recently replaced

and was not charged completely.
The 12 Volt battery was discharged by an

electrical load left on when the vehicle was
parked.
The 12 Volt battery was used for an extended

period with the vehicle not running to supply
radio, lights, chargers, +12 Volt 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

possible:
Turn off redundant lights (interior or exte-

rior)
Check what may be plugged in to power

outlets +12 Volts, 115 Volt AC, USB ports
Check HVAC settings (blower, tempera-

ture)
Check the audio settings (volume)

After a trip:
Check if any aftermarket equipment was

installed (additional lights, upfitter electrical
accessories, 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 consecu-
tive trips and the evaluation of the vehicle
and driving pattern did not help to identify the
cause.
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
