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 12 volt
electrical system and status of the 12 volt vehicle battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or
the 12 volt 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 12 volt
electrical loads. Load reduction will be functional when the
vehicle propulsion system is active.
The vehicle may not be running depending on the HV
battery SOC or 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 12 volt load reduction is activated, the message
“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in
the Instrument Cluster Display.
These messages indicate the 12 volt vehicle battery has a
low state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at
a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.

5. Pull the bottle away from the Compressor.
NOTE:
•For sealant bottle installation, follow these steps reverse
order.
• Replacement sealant bottles are available at authorized
service centers.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.
Remove The Bottle
418 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

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.
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, alternator or electrical
system may occur.
