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 head lamps battery saver functions for the duration of the alarm.
