Illuminated EntryLExit System
When you open either front door, or open a rear door,
the lamps inside your vehicle will go on. These lamps
will fade off after about 40 seconds, or when the ignition
is turned on.
If the ignition has been off for less than two minutes,
the lamps inside your vehicle will stay on for about
15 seconds to provide an illuminated exit when you
remove the key from the ignition.
After you exit the vehicle and all of the doors have been
closed, the lamps will stay on for an additional four
seconds before fading off.
Battery Rundown Protection
Your Chevrolet is equipped with a Battery Rundown
Protection feature designed to protect your vehicle's
battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, dome, glove
box, etc.) is left on and the ignition is turned OFF, the
Battery Rundown Protection system will automatically
turn the lamp off after 20 minutes. This will avoid
draining the battery. This system does not protect
against leaving on the headlamps.
To reactivate the interior lamps, either:
The ignition must be turned on,
The activated lamp switch must be turned off, then
on, OR
A door must be opened.
The Battery Rundown Protection feature
will also
be
activated when any door is left open.
If your vehicle is left with the ignition off for over
24 days, the battery power to the clock and audio
system will turn off to reduce the battery drain. When
the ignition is turned on again, battery power will be
resupplied. Under these conditions it will be necessary
to reset the clock and audio system settings.
