TAMPER ALERT
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security system in 
your absence, the horn will sound three times and the 
exterior lights will blink three times when you disarm the 
Vehicle Security system.
DELUXE VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — 
IF EQUIPPED  
The Deluxe Vehicle Security system monitors the doors, 
hood latch, and trunk for unauthorized entry and the 
ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system 
also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and vehicle 
tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle 
interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the 
vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry 
transport, etc.).
If a perimeter violation triggers the security system, the 
horn will sound for 29 seconds and the exterior lights will 
flash followed by approximately five seconds of no activity.  This will continue for eight cycles if no action is taken to 
disarm the system.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the security system:

the ultrasonic intrusion sensor when arming the 
Vehicle Security system. To do so, push the lock button 
on the key fob three times within 15 seconds of arming 
the system (while the Vehicle Security Light is flashing 
rapidly). The vehicle will remain locked but will disable 
the alarm in the case of repeated false alarms due to 
ambient conditions.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any of 
the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
 Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the door  
Úpage 22.

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  
Úpage 64.
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
 Heated/Cooled Cup Holders — If Equipped
 Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors
 HVAC System
 115 Volts AC Power Inverter System
 Audio and Telematics System
Loss of the 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 prop -
erly.
 Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads
(e.g. HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights, 
overloaded power outlets +12 Volts, 115 Volts AC, USB 
ports) during certain driving conditions (city driving, 
towing, frequent stopping).
 Installing options like additional lights, upfitter elec -
trical 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 Volts portable appliances 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 exterior)
 Check what may be plugged in to power outlets 
+12 Volts, 115 Volts AC, USB ports
 Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)
 Check the audio settings (volume)
After a trip:
 Check if any aftermarket equipment was installed 
(additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio 
systems, alarms) and review specifications if any (load 
and Ignition Off Draw currents).
 Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance, driving 
time and parking time).
 The vehicle should have service performed if the 
message is still present during consecutive trips and 
the evaluation of the vehicle and driving pattern did not 
help to identify the cause.
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the 
instrument panel together with a dedicated message 
and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These indications 
are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be 
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the 
information contained in the Owner’s Manual, which you 
are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to 
the information in this chapter in the event of a failure 
indication. All active telltales will display first if applicable. 
The system check menu may appear different based upon 
equipment options and current vehicle status. Some 
telltales are optional and may not appear.
RED WARNING LIGHTS
Air Bag Warning Light 
This warning light will illuminate to indicate a 
fault with the air bag, and will turn on for four to 
eight seconds as a bulb check when the 
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position. This light will illuminate with a single chime 
when a fault with the air bag has been detected, it will stay
