QUIPPED

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” 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

reduction. The charging system performs a diag

nostic on the charging system continuously.



If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may

indicate a problem with the charging system

page 78.

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 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 Volts, 115

Volts AC, USB ports) during certain driving condi

tions (city driving, towing, 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 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, +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 Volts AC, USB ports



Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)



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 consecutive

trips and the evaluation of the vehicle and

driving pattern did not help to identify the cause.

during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving,

have the system inspected at an authorized dealer

as soon as possible.

Brake Warning Light

This warning light monitors various

brake functions, including brake fluid

level and parking brake application. If

the brake light turns on it may indicate

that the parking brake is applied, that the brake

fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the

Anti-Lock Brake System reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has

been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full

mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates

a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or

that a problem with the Brake Booster has been

detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) /

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this

case, the light will remain on until the condition has

been corrected. If the problem is related to the

brake booster, the ABS pump will run when

applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation

may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking

capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the

hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual

brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning

Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level

in the master cylinder has dropped below a

specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp

cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level

conditions. The vehicle should have service

performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is

necessary.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System

(ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake

Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD

failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along

with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS

system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be

checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF

position to the ON/RUN position. The light should

illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light

should then turn off unless the parking brake is

applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does

not illuminate, have the light inspected by an

authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake

is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN

position.
NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake appli

cation.

WARNING!

Warning System. Contact an authorized

dealer for service

page 155.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Warning Light

The warning light switches on and a

message is displayed to indicate that

the tire pressure is lower than the

recommended value and/or that slow

pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal

tire duration and fuel consumption may not be

guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition

mentioned above, the display will show the

indications corresponding to each tire.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should

be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the

inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of

a different size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you

should determine the proper tire inflation pressure

for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire

pressure warning light when one or more of your

tires is significantly underinflated. Accordingly,

when the low tire pressure warning light

illuminates, you should stop and check your tires

as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper

pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated

tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire

failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency

and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s

handling and stopping ability.

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced

above, can reach higher temperatures than in

normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire

if you drive slowly or park over flammable

substances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard,

etc. This could result in death or serious injury to

the driver, occupants or others.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the

vehicle control system. It also could affect fuel

economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing,

severe catalytic converter damage and power

loss will soon occur. Immediate service is

required.

CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat

tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the

vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a

tire puncture occurs, repair immediately using

the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an

authorized dealer as soon as possible.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for

proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s

responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,

even if underinflation has not reached the level to

trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure

warning light.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS

malfunction indicator to indicate when the system

is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction

indicator is combined with the low tire pressure

warning light. When the system detects a

malfunction, the warning light will flash for

approximately one minute and then remain

continuously illuminated. This sequence will

continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as

long as the malfunction exists. When the

malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system

may not be able to detect or signal low tire

pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may

occur for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate tires or

wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from

functioning properly. Always check the TPMS

malfunction warning light after replacing one or

more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that

the replacement or alternate tires and wheels

allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated

Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II. This

system monitors the performance of the

emissions, engine, and transmission control

systems. When these systems are operating

properly, your vehicle will provide excellent

performance and fuel economy, as well as engine

emissions well within current government

regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II

system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other

information to assist your service technician in

making repairs. Although your vehicle will usually

be drivable and not need towing, see an authorized

dealer for service as soon as possible.

NBOARD

IAGNOSTIC

YSTEM

(OBD II) C

YBERSECURITY

Your vehicle is required to have an OBD II and a

connection port to allow access to information

related to the performance of your emissions

controls. Authorized service technicians may need

to access this information to assist with the

diagnosis and service of your vehicle and

emissions system

page 128.

CAUTION!



Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause

further damage to the emission control

system. It could also affect fuel economy and

driveability. The vehicle must be serviced

before any emissions tests can be performed.



If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is

running, severe catalytic converter damage

and power loss will soon occur. Immediate

service is required.

WARNING!



ONLY an authorized service technician should

connect equipment to the OBD II connection

port in order to read the VIN, diagnose, or

service your vehicle.



If unauthorized equipment is connected to the

OBD II connection port, such as a

driver-behavior tracking device, it may:



Be possible that vehicle systems,

including safety related systems, could be

impaired or a loss of vehicle control could

occur that may result in an accident

involving serious injury or death.



Access, or allow others to access, infor

mation stored in your vehicle systems,

including personal information.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to

pass an inspection of your vehicle's emissions

control system. Failure to pass could prevent

vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection

and Maintenance (I/M), this check

verifies the Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) is functioning and is not on when

the engine is running, and that the OBD II system

is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The

OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle

was recently serviced, recently had a dead battery

or a battery replacement. If the OBD II system

should be determined not ready for the I/M test,

your vehicle may fail the test.
Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test,

which you can use prior to going to the test station.

To check if your vehicle's OBD II system is ready,

you must do the following:

1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position,

but do not crank or start the engine.

NOTE:

If you crank or start the engine, you will have to

start this test over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the

ON position, you will see the Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL) symbol come on as part of

a normal bulb check.

3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two

things will happen:



The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and

then return to being fully illuminated until

you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine.

This means that your vehicle's OBD II

system is not ready and you should not

proceed to the I/M station.



The MIL will not flash at all and will remain

fully illuminated until you place the ignition

in the off position or start the engine. This

means that your vehicle's OBD II system is

ready and you can proceed to the I/M

station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see

an authorized dealer or repair facility. If your

vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery

failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing

more than drive your vehicle as you normally would

in order for your OBD II system to update. A

recheck with the above test routine may then

indicate that the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system

is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during

normal vehicle operation you should have your

vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station.

The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the

MIL is on with the engine running.
