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 display.
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 81.

The electrical loads that may be switched off (if

equipped), and vehicle functions which can be

effected by load reduction:



Heated Seats / Vented Seats / Heated Wheel



Heated / Cooled Cup Holders — If Equipped



Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors



HVAC System



150W Power Inverter System



Audio and Telematics System

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. 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,

150W, 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 Volts portable appliances

like vacuum cleaner’s, game consoles and

similar devices.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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, 150W, 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.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the

instrument panel together with a dedicated

message and/or acoustic signal when applicable.

These indications are indicative and precautionary

and as such must not be considered as exhaustive.

Service Stop / Start System Warning Light

This telltale will turn on to indicate the

Stop/Start system is not functioning

properly and service is required. Contact

an authorized dealer for service.

Cruise Control Fault Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate to

indicate the Cruise Control System is not

functioning properly and service is

required. Contact an authorized dealer.

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.
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

telltale.
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

telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,

the telltale 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

WARNING!

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

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 telltale 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.

Water In Fuel Indicator Light — If Equipped

The Water In Fuel Indicator Light will

illuminate when there is water detected

in the fuel filter. If this light remains on,

DO NOT start the vehicle before you drain

the water from the fuel filter to prevent engine

damage, and please see an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original

equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures

and warning have been established for the tire

size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable

system operation or sensor damage may result

when using replacement equipment that is not

of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket

wheels can cause sensor damage. Using

aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to

become inoperable. After using an aftermarket

tire sealant it is recommended that you take

your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your

sensor function checked.

CAUTION!

The presence of water in the fuel system circuit

may cause severe damage to the injection

system and irregular engine operation. If the

indicator light is illuminated, contact an

authorized dealer as soon as possible to bleed

the system. If the above indications come on

immediately after refuelling, water has probably

been poured into the tank: switch the engine off

immediately and contact an authorized dealer.

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.

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.
