2019 Dodge Charger Owners Manual - INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY



INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY

Your vehicle will be equipped with an instrument cluster display, which offers useful information to the driver. With the ignition in the STOP/OFF mode, opening/closing of a door will activate the display for viewing, and display the total miles, or kilometers, in the odometer. Your instrument cluster display is designed to display important informa- tion about your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver interactive display located on the instrument panel, your instrument cluster display can show you how sys- tems are working and give you warnings when they are not. The steering wheel mounted controls allow you to scroll through the main menus and submenus. You can access the specific information you want and make selec- tions and adjustments.

Engine Oil Life Reset

Oil Change Required

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indi- cator system. The “Oil Change Required” message will display in the instrument cluster display for five seconds after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indi- cator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.

Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you place the ignition in the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, push and release the OK or arrow buttons. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure.

    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.

    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 “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

    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
    • 115V AC Power Inverter System
    • Audio and Telematics System
