Battery Saver On/Battery Saver Mode Message - Electrical Load Reduction Actions - If Equipped - Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat 392 2016 Owner's Manual

Battery Saver On/Battery Saver Mode Message —
Electrical Load Reduction Actions — If Equipped
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.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 307
When load reduction is activated, the message "Battery
Saver On" or "Battery Saver Mode" 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 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. Refer to
"Battery Charge Warning Light" in "Understanding
Your Instrument Panel" for further information.
