BATTERY SAVER ON, BATTERY SAVER MODE MESSAGE, AND 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 Some Systems May Have Reduced Power” 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 .

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 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).

• 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 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.

DIESEL DISPLAYS

When the appropriate conditions exist, the following messages display in the instrument cluster display:

• Exhaust Filter Nearing Full Safely Drive at Consistent Speeds to Clear

• Exhaust Filter Full – Power Reduced See Dealer

• Exhaust System Service Required – See Dealer

• Exhaust System – Filter XX% Full Service Required See Dealer

• Exhaust System Regeneration in Process Continue Driving

• Exhaust System – Regeneration Completed

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) MESSAGES

This engine meets all required diesel engine emissions standards. To achieve these emissions standards, your vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust system. These systems are seamlessly integrated into your vehicle and managed by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM manages engine combustion to allow the exhaust system’s catalyst to trap and burn Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no input or interaction on your part.

WARNING:

A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn, such as grass or leaves, and those items coming into contact with your exhaust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact anything that can burn.

CAUTION:

The engine may be switched off even if the warning light is on: repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause an early deterioration of engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine, following the instructions mentioned previously. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.

Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to additional maintenance required on your vehicle or engine. Refer to the following messages that may be displayed on your instrument cluster display:

• Exhaust Filter Nearing Full Safely Drive at Consistent Speeds to Clear — This message will be displayed if the exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity. Under conditions of exclusive short duration and low speed driving cycles, your diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment system may never reach the conditions required to cleanse the filter to remove the trapped PM. If this occurs, the “Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at Highway Speeds to Remedy” message will be displayed. If this message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this condition. By simply driving your vehicle at highway speeds for up to 20 minutes, you can remedy the condition in the particulate filter system and allow your diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment system to cleanse the filter to remove the trapped PM and restore the system to normal operating condition.

• Exhaust System Regeneration in Process Continue Driving — This message indicates that the DPF is self-cleaning. Maintain your current driving condition until regeneration is completed.

• Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed — This message indicates that the DPF self-cleaning is completed. If this message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this condition.

• Exhaust System Service Required — See Dealer — This message indicates regeneration has been disabled due to a system malfunction. At this point the engine Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will register a fault code, the instrument panel will display a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) light.

  CAUTION:

  See an authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur soon with continued operation.

• Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer — This message indicates the PCM has derated the engine to limit the likelihood of permanent damage to the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a dealer service is not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. To correct this condition it will be necessary to have your vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer.

  Note:

  Failing to follow the oil change indicator, changing your oil and resetting the oil change indicator by 0 miles (0 kilometers) remaining will prevent the diesel exhaust filter from performing its cleaning routine. This will shortly result in a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and reduced engine power. Only an authorized dealer will be able to correct this condition.

  CAUTION:

  See an authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur soon with continued operation.

FUEL SYSTEM MESSAGES

The following chart contains a list of different messages that may appear in the instrument cluster, depending on different system or fuel conditions. Use the descriptions to interpret what the message means and determine the best action to take.
