Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
In addition to the battery gauge your vehicle is equipped
with a visual state of charge indicator. The state of charge
indicator is made up of five lights that are mounted to the
top center of the instrument panel, which will illuminate
when the vehicle is plugged into the EVSE.The state of charge indicator represents the current state of
charge for the high voltage battery and if there is a fault
with the charging system. The state of charge indicator
illuminates quickly to provide the charging system status
to the vehicle operator . Each light represents the battery’s
current percentage of charge, as shown below in the table.
The charge indicator will illuminate from left to right one
light at a time to indicate that there is a scheduled charge
enabled.
NOTE:
The lights scroll one at a time when the vehicle is
plugged in outside of its charging schedule time/date, and
it is waiting on the schedule to begin charging.

NOTE:If the vehicle is plugged in outside of the charging
schedule set in the Uconnect 8.4 radio, the vehicle’s battery
will not charge. Charging will only begin immediately if
the vehicle is plugged in within the time and date set in the
schedule. Otherwise, charging will automatically begin
when the selected charge time/date occurs.
This feature can be overridden if the vehicle is plugged in,
unplugged, and then plugged in a second time. This
“double plugged-in” feature will override the schedule
that is set in the radio, and begin charging the vehicle
immediately. The double plug sequence must be completed
within 10 seconds for it to override the programed sched-
ule.
If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging window
a radio pop-up message will be displayed, that allows the
user to charge it immediately. If “Yes” is selected, the
vehicle will begin charging immediately, ignoring the
charge schedule, if plugged in within an hour of turning
the vehicle off.KEYS
The keyless ignition system consists of a key fob with a
built in emergency key and a Keyless Push Button Ignition
system.
Key Fob
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate, and activate the Panic Alarm, optional power
liftgate, left power sliding door, and right power sliding
door from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using
a hand-held key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

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
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 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.
