Variance (If Equipped)
Compass Variance is the difference between
Magnetic North and Geographic North. To
compensate for the differences, the variance
should be set for the zone where the vehicle is
driven, per the zone map. Once properly set, the
compass will automatically compensate for the
differences and provide the most accurate
compass heading.

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 display.
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 diag -
nostic on the charging system continuously.

If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may
indicate a problem with the charging system
