Dome Lamp; Battery Rundown Protection; Accessory Power Outlets - Buick 2004 Regal Owner's Manual

Dome Lamp

The dome lamp will come on when you open a door.

Battery Rundown Protection

This helps prevent the vehicle's battery from draining in
case the interior courtesy lamps, reading lamps,
trunk lamp, underhood lamp, glove box lamps, or sun
visor vanity lamps, if equipped, are accidently left on. If
any of these lamps are left on while the ignition is in
OFF, they will automatically turn off after 20 minutes.
The lamps will not come back on again until one of the
following occurs:
•
The ignition is turned on.
•
The exterior lamps control is turned off, then on.
•
A door is opened.
If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the
odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after
only three minutes.

Accessory Power Outlets

With accessory power outlets you can power electrical
equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio.
The vehicle is equipped with a 12-volt outlet. It is located
on the console, near the floor on the passenger's
side. Open the cover to use the outlet. Be sure to close
the cover when the outlet is not in use.

Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your
vehicle may damage it or keep other components
from working as they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Check with your dealer
before adding electrical equipment.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be compatible
to the power accessory outlet and could result in
blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer.
Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your warranty. Do not
hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the power outlets are
designed for accessory power plugs only.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
equipment.
