Propulsion Power Messages
REDUCED ACCELERATION DRIVE
WITH CARE
This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions, the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
This message can be displayed when the
high voltage battery charge level is low. This
is normal behavior as the vehicle is limiting
power due to reduced battery capability. Under certain operating conditions
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the vehicle has been off for
two minutes.
PROPULSION POWER REDUCED DUE TO
TEMPERATURE
This message displays when the vehicle is
on, the battery temperature is low, and
when the vehicle’s performance is limited.
The duration of the limited vehicle
performance depends, in part, on the high
voltage battery charge level. If the high
voltage battery charge level is relatively
high, as the vehicle is driven, the battery
temperature will increase, and the vehicle
will return to normal operation. If the high
voltage battery charge level is relatively low
the vehicle will not return to normal
operation until charged.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully
charged, to keep the high voltage battery
temperature ready for the next drive. This is
important when outside temperatures are
extremely hot or cold.

Universal Remote System
Programming
If equipped, the Universal Garage Door
(Universal Remote) controls are located on
the infotainment screen.
This system can replace up to eight remote
control transmitters used to activate devices
such as garage door openers, security
systems, and home automation devices.
These instructions refer to a garage door
opener, but can be used for other devices. Do not use the Universal Remote system
with any garage door opener that does not
have the stop and reverse feature. This
includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Keep the original hand-held transmitter for
use in other vehicles as well as for future
programming. Erase the programming when
vehicle ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing Universal Remotes.”
To program a garage door opener, park
outside directly in line with and facing the
garage door opener receiver. Clear all people
and objects away from the garage door.
Make sure the hand-held transmitter has a
new battery for quick and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal Remote
System
Programming involves time-sensitive actions

to be repeated. Read these instructions
completely before programming the
Universal Remote system. It may help to
have another person assist with the
programming process. 1. On the infotainment home screen,
navigate to the Universal Remote
controls.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in)
away from the rear-view mirror. The
hand-held transmitter was supplied by
the manufacturer of the garage door
opener.
3. Select the “Add Remotes” option on the
infotainment screen.
4. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the hand-held
transmitter button until “Signal Found”
appears on the infotainment screen.
5. Once the signal is found, test the Universal Remote System by pressing the
Test button. If your garage door moves,
then programming was successful. You
may need to press the Test button
several times. Indicate the successful
programming of a remote by pressing
the It Worked button. After successfully
programming a remote, there is no need
to complete Steps 6–10.

Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery
temperature and state of charge. It then
adjusts the voltage for best performance
and extended life of the 12-volt battery.
When the battery state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly increase
the charge. When the state of charge is
high, the voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent over charging. As this adjustment
occurs, you may see the voltage move up or
down on the voltmeter gauge or voltage
display on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), if equipped. This is normal. If a
problem occurs, an alert will be displayed.
If the electrical loads are very high, the
battery can be discharged when the vehicle
is stationary. A high electrical load occurs
when several features are on, such as:
headlamps, high beams, rear window
defogger, climate control fan at high speed,
heated seats, motor cooling fans, trailer
loads, and loads plugged into accessory
power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of
the battery by balancing the electrical
system output and the vehicle's electrical needs. In some cases, it can temporarily
reduce the power demands of some
accessories.
These actions occur in steps or levels
without being noticeable. In rare cases at
the highest levels of corrective action, this
action may be noticeable to the driver. If so,
a DIC battery voltage and charging message
displays. It is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as
possible. See
Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Base Level) 0129 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130.
Battery Power Protection
This feature helps prevent the battery from
being drained if the interior courtesy lamps
or reading lamps are accidentally left on.
If any of these lamps are left on, they
automatically turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The lamps will not
come back on again until one of the
following occurs:
.The vehicle is started.
.The doors are closed and then re-opened.
