Battery Saver On/Battery Saver Mode Message —
Electrical Load Reduction Actions — If Equipped
The 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 will be functional when the hybrid propul-
sion system is active. The vehicle may not be running
depending on the battery SOC and temperature. 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 reduc-
tion. 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. Refer to “Battery
Charge Warning Light” in ”Warning And Indicator
Lights And Messages” located in ”Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
The electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped),
and vehicle functions which can be effected by load reduction:
• Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel
• Heated/Cooled Cup Holders — If Equipped
• Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
• HVAC System
• 115V AC Power Inverter System
• Audio and Telematics System

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 +12V, 115V AC, USB ports)
during certain driving conditions (city driving, towing,
frequent stopping).
• Installing options like additional lights, upfitter electri-
cal accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar de-
vices.
• 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
vehicle not running to supply radio, lights, chargers,
+12V portable appliances like vacuum cleaner ’s, game
consoles and similar devices.

JUMP-STARTING
The vehicle requires its 12V battery power to turn-onthe
vehicle’s high voltage battery. The high voltage battery is
used to charge the 12V battery, provide electric vehicle operation, and to start the vehicle’s gas engine. If the 12V
battery has been discharged, the vehicle can be
jump-
started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in
another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
If the vehicle’s high voltage battery has also been dis-
charged, it will need to be recharged before the vehicle can
be started:
• If the vehicle can be connected to a Level 1 or Level 2
charger where it is currently parked, the vehicle will still
require a jump-start to allow the vehicle to begin the
battery charging process. Once the vehicle charging has
begun (indicated by the charge status indicator on top
the vehicle’s instrument panel), the jumper cables can be
removed from the vehicle jump posts.
• If the vehicle cannot be connected to a Level 1 or Level
2 charger where it is currently parked, the vehicle can be
moved by connecting 12V power to the vehicle’s jump
posts and then shifting the transmission from Park into
Neutral. Power provided by the jumper cables will also
allow the electric park brake to be released. Carefully
move the vehicle to a level 1 or Level 2 charge location.
While the vehicle is being moved, the external 12V
power must remained connected to the vehicle jump
posts.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 417

NOTE:Be careful when moving the vehicle - ensure that
control of the vehicle is maintained. Also, ensure that
vehicle is secured to prevent unintentional movement
during and after moving the vehicle. If the external 12V
power becomes disconnected from the vehicle jump posts
or there is an interruption of the 12V power while moving
the vehicle, the vehicle’s transmission may engage Park.
When the vehicle is at the charging location, shift the
transmission back to Park, apply the electric park brake,
and start the high voltage battery charging. Once the
vehicle has been secured against unintentional movement
and high voltage battery charging has been initiated, the
jumper cables can be removed from the vehicle jump posts.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so
please follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack follow
the manufacturer ’s operating instructions and precautions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It
could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other
booster source with a system voltage greater than 12
Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator
or electrical system may occur.
Preparations For Jump-Start
The remote battery posts in your vehicle is located on the
left side of the engine compartment.
418 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Jump-Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump-starting procedure could
result in personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in
damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle
or the discharged vehicle.
Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the
positive (+)post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper
cable to the positive (+)post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative (-)end of the jumper cable to the
negative (-)post of the booster battery. 4. Connect the opposite end of the negative
(-)jumper
cable to the negative post near the windshield cowl
(exposed metal post of the discharged vehicle).
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) post
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts.
5. Start the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the vehicle run a few minutes, and then cycle the ignition to
ON/RUN in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
6. Once the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, select the gear that is needed for moving the vehicle. In most instances
of an emergency, this would be neutral. Once the proper
gear is selected, remove the jumper cables in the reverse
sequence:
