94 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 o12 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 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 exte -
rior)

Check what may be plugged in to power
o12 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.
