The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when either
door is opened and it is dark outside. Press
the
button to
turn them on. Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
This feature is designed
to
protect your vehicle's battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power
to these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if either door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the DIC while the ignition is in the
RUN position. Battery guard storage protects the battery
by placing the vehicle in a storage mode so that the
radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and RKE will not
drain the battery over a long period of time.
To begin programming, press the INFORMATION
(INFO) and RESET (INFO RESET) buttons at the same
time for about two seconds. The first message to appear
is DOORS LOCK IN GEAR.
Press the INFORMATION
(INFO) button after this prompt is displayed until
STORAGE MODE prompt appears on the DIC. Press
the TRIP SET (TRIP RESET') button to answer "yes"
or press the RESET (INFO RESET) button to indicate a
"no" response.
