Battery Saver
Battery saver prevents excessive drain from loads inadvertently left on. When the ignition switch is turned OFF, power is interrupted to the:- Courtesy lamps after 10 minutes.
- Demand lamps after 30 minutes.
- Headlamps after 10 minutes.
Turning the ignition switch to ACC or RUN will terminate the battery saver feature by disabling the interrupt timers and reinstating power to the lamps.
A reset event will set the courtesy lamps interrupt timer to zero. The reset events for the courtesy lamps interrupt timer are as follows:
- Turning ON the courtesy lamps by using the dome lamp switch.
- Opening any door (as detected by the interior lamp switches).
A reset event will set the demand lamps interrupt timer to zero. The reset events for the demand lamps interrupt timer are as follows:
- Opening the luggage compartment door.
- Opening any door (as detected by the interior lamp switches).
When the PANIC button on a keyless entry remote transmitter is pressed, or an anti-theft system violation occurs, the panic alarm or anti-theft alarm function will override the courtesy lamps, demand lamps and headlamps battery saver functions for the duration of the alarm.
