150 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 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 conditions (city driving, towing, frequent stop-
ping).
• 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.
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 Volts,
150W, USB ports.
• Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature).
• Check the audio settings (volume).
