EDUCTION CTIONS F
The vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor
(IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the 12 Volt
electrical system and status of the 12 Volt vehicle battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or
the 12 Volt 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 12 Volt
electrical loads. Load reduction will be functional when
the vehicle propulsion system is active.
The vehicle may not be running depending on the High
Voltage (HV) battery SOC or temperature. 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 12 Volt load reduction is activated, the message
"Battery Saver On" or "Battery Saver Mode" will appear in
the Instrument Cluster Display.

AVER
These messages indicate the 12 Volt vehicle battery has a

low state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge
at a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.
QUIPPED
NOTE:
 The charging system is independent from load reduc-
tion. The charging system performs a diagnostic on the
charging system continuously.
 If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may indicate
a problem with the charging system.
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
 Heated/Cooled Cup Holders — If Equipped
 Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
 HVAC System
 115 Volt AC Power Inverter System
 Audio and Telematics System
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 functioning
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 elec-
trical 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.
