Lighting

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,
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW,
or LOW BATTERY. If one of
these messages displays, it is
recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as
much as possible. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) (With
DIC Buttons) on page 5‑25
or
Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Without DIC Buttons) on page 5‑30
