This message appears when the system detects
that the battery voltage is dropping beyond a
reasonable level. The battery saver system will
start reducing certain features of the vehicle which
you may be able to notice. At the point that the
features are disabled, this message is displayed. It
means that the vehicle is trying to save the
charge in the battery.

accessories. Turn on the exterior lamps and
radio, set the climate control on AUTO and the fan
speed on the highest setting, and turn the rear

still recharge the battery. The battery should
recharge while driving but may take a few hours to
do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger to
boost the battery after returning home or to a nal
destination. Make sure you follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Radio with CD
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System
(RDS). RDS features are available for use only on
FM stations that broadcast RDS information.With RDS, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected
type of programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
This system relies upon receiving specic
information from these stations and only works
when the information is available. In rare cases, a
radio station may broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to work improperly.
If this happens, contact the radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the
station name or call letters appear on the display
instead of the frequency. RDS stations may
also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY)
for current programming, and the name of the
program being broadcast.
