Electrical system backup power is unavailable
Vehicle will consume more energy while idle
What this alert means:
The backup power source for the electrical system, the low voltage battery, is not available or cannot provide the
voltage required to support all vehicle features.
The primary source of electrical power, the high voltage battery system, will continue to support vehicle functions,
even when your vehicle is idle. For more information on the high voltage battery, see
About the High Voltage Battery
on page 178.
You may notice that some nonessential features are not available. This is expected behavior due to your vehicle
preserving energy for essential functions.
You may also notice that your vehicle consumes more energy than usual when you are not driving it, or that your vehicle displays a lower projected range than you would normally expect after charging. This is normal vehicle behavior when this alert is present, and it will continue until the backup power source is restored.
There is a chance that an issue affecting the primary power source could cause your vehicle to shut down
unexpectedly.
What to do:
It is recommended that you limit or avoid the use of any nonessential features. This can help your vehicle maintain
adequate electrical power for essential functions.
It is recommended that you schedule service at your earliest opportunity, so the backup power source for the
