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 appli

ances 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

Check what may be plugged in to power 

outlets +12 Volt, 115 Volts AC, USB ports

Check HVAC settings (blower, tempera
