ESSAGES

This engine meets all required diesel engine

emissions standards. To achieve these emissions

standards, your vehicle is equipped with a

state-of-the-art engine and exhaust system. These

systems are seamlessly integrated into your

vehicle and managed by the Powertrain Control

Module (PCM). The PCM manages engine

combustion to allow the exhaust system’s catalyst

to trap and burn Particulate Matter (PM)

pollutants, with no input or interaction on your part.

Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to

additional maintenance required on your vehicle or

engine. Refer to the following messages that may

be displayed on your instrument cluster:



Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at Highway

Speeds to Remedy — This message will be

displayed in the instrument cluster if the

exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its

maximum storage capacity. Under conditions of

exclusive short duration and low speed driving

cycles, your diesel engine and exhaust

after-treatment system may never reach the

conditions required to cleanse the filter to

remove the trapped PM. If this occurs, the

“Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at Highway

Speeds to Remedy” message will be displayed

in the instrument cluster display. If this

message is displayed, you will hear one chime

to assist in alerting you of this condition.

By simply driving your vehicle at highway speeds

for up to 20 minutes, you can remedy the condi

-

tion in the particulate filter system and allow

your diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment

system to cleanse the filter to remove the

trapped PM and restore the system to normal

operating condition.

WARNING!

A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park

over materials that can burn, such as grass or

leaves, and those items that come into contact

with your exhaust system. Do not park or

operate your vehicle in areas where your

exhaust system can contact anything that

can burn.



Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced

See Dealer — This message indicates the PCM

has derated the engine to limit the likelihood of

permanent damage to the after-treatment

system. If this condition is not corrected and a

dealer service is not performed, extensive

exhaust after-treatment damage can occur.

To correct this condition it will be necessary to

have your vehicle serviced by an authorized

dealer.

NOTE:

Failing to follow the oil change indicator, changing

your oil and resetting the oil change indicator by

0 miles remaining will prevent the diesel exhaust

filter from performing it's cleaning routine. This will

shortly result in a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

and reduced engine power. Only an authorized

dealer will be able to correct this condition.

QUIPPED

This 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 is only active when the engine is

running. 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 Some Systems May Have

Reduced Power” will appear in the instrument

cluster.
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

reduction. The charging system performs a diag

-

nostic on the charging system continuously.



If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may

indicate a problem with the charging system

Ú

page 132.

The electrical loads that may be switched off (if

equipped), and vehicle functions which can be

affected by load reduction:



Heated Seats / Vented Seats / Heated Wheel



Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors



HVAC System



115 Volts AC Power Inverter System



Audio and Telematics System

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

131

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 +12 Volts,

115 Volts AC, USB ports) during certain driving

conditions (city driving, towing, frequent

stopping).



Installing options like additional lights, upfitter

electrical accessories, audio systems, alarms

and similar devices.



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 engine not running to supply radio,

lights, chargers, +12 Volt portable appliances

like vacuum cleaners, game consoles and

similar devices.

What to do when an electrical load reduction

action message is present (“Battery Saver On” or

“Battery Saver Mode”)
During a trip:



Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:



Turn off redundant lights

(interior or exterior).



Check what may be plugged in to power

outlets +12 Volts, 115 Volts AC, USB ports.



Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature).



Check the audio settings (volume).

After a trip:



Check if any aftermarket equipment was

installed (additional lights, upfitter electrical

accessories, audio systems, alarms) and review

specifications if any (load and Ignition Off Draw

currents).



Evaluate the latest driving cycles

(distance, driving time and parking time).



The vehicle should have service performed if

the message is still present during consecutive

trips and the evaluation of the vehicle and

driving pattern did not help to identify the cause.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the

instrument panel together with a dedicated

message and/or acoustic signal when applicable.

These indications are indicative and precautionary

and as such must not be considered as exhaustive

and/or alternative to the information contained in

center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

Cruise Control Fault Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate to

indicate the Cruise Control System is not

functioning properly and service is

required. Contact an authorized dealer.

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as

referenced above, can reach higher

temperatures than in normal operating

conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive

slowly or park over flammable substances such

as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could

result in death or serious injury to the driver,

occupants or others.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the

vehicle control system. It also could affect fuel

economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing,

severe catalytic converter damage and power

loss will soon occur. Immediate service is

required.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Warning Light

The warning light switches on and a

message is displayed to indicate that the

tire pressure is lower than the

recommended value and/or that slow

pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal

tire duration and fuel consumption may not be

guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition

mentioned above, the display will show the

indications corresponding to each tire.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should

be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the

inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label.

If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the

size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label, you should determine the

proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is

significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the

low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should

stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and

inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a

significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to

overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation

also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and

may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping

ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for

proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s

responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,

even if underinflation has not reached the level to

trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure

telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS

malfunction indicator to indicate when the system

is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction

indicator is combined with the low tire pressure

telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,

the telltale will flash for approximately one minute

and then remain continuously illuminated.

This sequence will continue upon subsequent

vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the

system may not be able to detect or signal low tire

pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may

occur for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate tires or

wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from

functioning properly. Always check the TPMS

malfunction telltale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow

the TPMS to continue to function properly.

CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat

tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the

vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a

tire puncture occurs, repair immediately using

the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an

authorized dealer as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original

equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures

and warning have been established for the tire

size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable

system operation or sensor damage may result

when using replacement equipment that is not

of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket

wheels can cause sensor damage. Using

aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire

Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to

become inoperable. After using an aftermarket

tire sealant it is recommended that you take

your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your

sensor function checked.
