Land Rover Defender: Battery monitoring system
Only start the engine if it is safe to do
so. Failure to do so may lead to a
collision, potentially resulting in serious
injury or death.
The Intelligent Power System
Management (IPSM) continuously monitors
the condition of the main vehicle battery.
If excessive battery discharge occurs, the
system begins to shut down non-essential
electrical systems in order to protect the
battery.
If the IPSM calculates that the battery's
condition is not within the set parameters,
there are two levels of action which can
be taken. Both levels have an
accompanying message on the
touchscreen, and in the case of the low
battery warning, in the instrument panel.
- Energy Management: Is displayed in
the instrument panel if the engine is
not running and system features are
causing excessive battery discharge.
After 3 minutes, the IPSM begins
shutting down the vehicle's systems.
Normal system operation resumes
when the engine is started.
- Low battery - Please start engine: Is
displayed on the touchscreen and in
the instrument panel, if the engine is
not running. After 3 minutes, the IPSM
begins shutting down the vehicle's
systems. Normal system operation
resumes when the engine is started.
Note: If the instrument panel displays Low
Battery - Please Start Engine, drive the
vehicle to allow the battery to recover to
an acceptable level. Drive the vehicle for
at least 30 minutes in temperatures above
32ºF (0ºC), or at least 60 minutes if the
temperatures are below 32ºF (0ºC). If
normal system operation does not resume
when the engine is switched back off, the
battery may not have been sufficiently
charged. If safe to do so, restart the
engine. If problems still exist, contact a
retailer/authorized repairer.
