Land Rover Discovery: Battery monitoring system
The Intelligent Power System
Management (IPSM) continuously monitors
the condition of the main vehicle battery.
If excessive battery discharge occurs, the
system will begin 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 2 levels of action which can be
taken. Both levels have an accompanying
message on the Touch screen, and in the
case of the low battery warning, in the
Message centre.
- Energy Management: Will be
displayed on the Touch screen if the
engine is not running, and system
features are causing excessive battery
discharge. After 3 minutes, the IPSM
will begin shutting down the vehicle's
systems. Normal system operation will
resume when the engine is started.
- Low Battery - Please Start Engine:
Will be displayed on the Touch screen
and in the Message centre if the
engine is not running. After 3 minutes,
the IPSM will begin shutting down the
vehicle's systems. Normal system
operation will resume when the engine
is started.
Only start the engine, if it is safe to
do so.
Note: If the message Low Battery -
Please Start Engine is displayed, drive
the vehicle for at least 30 minutes in
temperatures above 0ºC, or at least 60
minutes if temperatures are below 0ºC.
This will allow the battery to recover to an
acceptable level. If normal system
operation is not resumed 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 your Retailer/Authorised
Repairer.
