Battery Saver

Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver feature
designed to protect your vehicle's battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, footwell,
visor vanity or glove box) is left on when the ignition
is turned off, the battery saver system will automatically
shut the lamp(s) off after 20 minutes. This will avoid
draining the battery.
To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the following:
D
Turn on the ignition,
D
turn the exterior lamp control off and then on,
D
open a door,
D
press any remote keyless entry transmitter button
(if equipped),
D
press the remote trunk release button, or
D
press the power door lock switch.
The battery saver feature will also be activated when
any door on the vehicle is left open and the ignition
is in OFF.
