Battery Power Protection
This feature helps prevent the battery from
being drained if the interior courtesy lamps
or reading lamps are accidentally left on.
If any of these lamps are left on, they
automatically turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The lamps will not
come back on again until one of the
following occurs:
.The vehicle is started.
.The doors are closed and then re-opened.
Battery Saver
The vehicle is equipped with electrical power
management (EPM). EPM monitors and
controls the charging system. The message
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) when the
EPM detects the battery may be draining
too quickly, the charge state needs to be
reset, or the Auxiliary Power Module failed.
If safe to do so, when BATTERY SAVER
ACTIVE displays, manually shut off
windshield wipers, communications
equipment, climate controls, etc. to slow the
battery from draining. See Automatic
Climate Control System 0144. If the message still displays, fully charge the
vehicle. Once fully charged, unplug the
vehicle and let the vehicle sit an additional
8.5 hours or greater without being
interrupted to allow the Body Control
Module (BCM) to reset the battery to the
required state of charge.
The following may interrupt the vehicle:
.Charging the vehicle
.Battery Maintenance Mode
.Approach Detection is activated
.The remote key is left in the car or left in
close proximity of the vehicle
.Pressing buttons on the remote key
.Opening the doors or tailgate
To reduce the occurrence of this alert, GM
recommends letting the vehicle sit
uninterrupted for 8.5 hours or greater on a
weekly basis.
If after completing this process the BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE message remains, see your
dealer for service.
