Conditions Causing Engine To Run
•Maintaining Hybrid Battery SOC
• Provide Maximum Vehicle Acceleration
• Provide Maximum Passenger Compartment Heating
• Maintain Exhaust System Catalyst Temperature (after
engine start in current ignition cycle - emissions require-
ment)
• Engine Temporarily Operating in “Fuel and Oil Mainte-
nance Mode”
• Hood Opened with Ignition in Run Post-Start Mode
(eliminate unexpected engine start-ups)
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push
of a button, the key fob may have a low or dead battery. In

is exceeded, a single chime will sound and a pop up
warning message will display. If the set speed is exceeded
more than 2 mph (3 km/h), a continuous chime will sound
for up to 10 seconds, or until the speed is no longer

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.
