Mirrors; Battery Rundown Protection - Buick 2001 Century Owner's Manual

Battery Rundown Protection

Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case you accidentally leave the
interior courtesy lamps, reading/map lamps, visor
vanity lamps, trunk lamp, underhood lamp or glove box
lamps on. If you leave any of these lamps on, they will
automatically turn off after 20 minutes, if the ignition is
in OFF. The lamps won't come back on again until you
do one of the following:
D
Turn the ignition on,
D
turn the lamp switch off, then on, or
D
open a door.
If your vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the
odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after
only three minutes.
Retained Accessory Power (If Equipped)
With retained accessory power, your power windows,
audio system and sunroof (if equipped) will continue to
work up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned
to OFF and before any of the doors are opened.
