The battery can be discharged at idle if the

electrical loads are very high. This is true for

all vehicles. This is because the generator

(alternator) may not be spinning fast enough

at idle to produce all the power that is needed

for very high electrical loads.

A high electrical load occurs when several of the

following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,

fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate

control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine

cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into

accessory power outlets.

EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the

battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s

output and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It

can increase engine idle speed to generate more

power, whenever needed. It can temporarily

reduce the power demands of some accessories.

Normally, 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 Driver Information Center (DIC) message

might be displayed, such as Battery Saver

Active or Service Battery Charging System. If this

message is displayed, it is recommended that

the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as

possible. See DIC Warnings and Messages

on page 198.

Battery Run-Down Protection

Your vehicle has a battery saver feature designed

to protect the vehicle’s battery.

When any interior lamp is left on and the ignition is

turned off, the battery rundown protection system

will automatically turn the lamp off after 20 minutes.

This will avoid draining the battery. This vehicle also

has a retained accessory power feature. If the radio

is on, it will turn off after 10 minutes or if any door

on the vehicle is opened. See Retained Accessory

Power (RAP) on page 116.
