2022 Dodge Durango Owners Manual - Instrument Cluster Display

Instrument Cluster Display

Your vehicle is equipped with an instrument cluster display, which offers useful information to the driver. With the ignition in the 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 information about your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver interactive display located on the instrument panel, your instrument cluster display can show how systems 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 selections and adjustments.

LOCATION AND CONTROLS

The instrument cluster display is located in the center of the instrument cluster.

Instrument Cluster Display/Controls Location

The system allows the driver to select information by pushing the following buttons mounted on the steering wheel:

  Push the OK button to access/select the information screens or submenu screens of a main menu item. Push and hold the OK button for one second to reset displayed/selected features that can be reset.

The instrument cluster display is located in the center portion of the cluster and consist of multiple sections:

• Main Screen — The inner ring of the display will illuminate in gray under normal conditions, yellow for non critical warnings, red for critical warnings, and white for on demand information.

• Submenu Dots — Whenever there are submenus available, the position within the submenus is shown here.

• Reconfigurable Telltales/Information

• Gear Selector Status (PRND)

• Driver Interactive Display (Compass, Temp, Range to Empty, Trip A, Trip B, Average Fuel Economy, Current Fuel Economy, Time, Trailer Trip and Gain)

• All Wheel Drive (AWD) Status — If Equipped

The instrument cluster display will normally display the main menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main menu. The main display area also displays pop-up messages that consist of possible warning or information messages. These pop-up messages fall into several categories:

• Five Second Stored Messages

  When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of message takes control of the main display area for five seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most of the messages of this type are then stored (as long as the condition that activated it remains active) and can be reviewed from the “Messages” main menu item. Examples of this message type are “Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out” and “Low Tire Pressure.”

• Unstored Messages

  This message type is displayed indefinitely or until the condition that activated the message is cleared. Examples of this message type are “Turn Signal On” (if a turn signal is left on) and “Lights On” (if driver leaves the vehicle with the lights on).

• Unstored Messages Until RUN

  These messages deal primarily with the Remote Start feature. This message type is displayed until the ignition is in the RUN state. Examples of this message type are “Remote Start Canceled - Door Ajar” and “Press Brake Pedal and Push Button to Start.”

• Five Second Unstored Messages

  When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of message takes control of the main display area for five seconds and then returns to the previous screen. An example of this message type is “Automatic High Beams On.”

ENGINE OIL LIFE RESET

Oil Change Required

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator 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 indicator 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 the ignition is placed 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 reduction. 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 "⇨Battery Charge Warning Light".

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

• Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors

• HVAC System

• 115 Volt AC 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 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 Volt, 115 Volt AC, USB ports) during certain driving conditions (city driving, towing, frequent stopping, etc.).

• 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 exterior)

  • Check what may be plugged in to power outlets +12 Volt, 115 Volt 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 if the evaluation and driving pattern of the vehicle did not help to identify the cause.
