Battery Saver

To protect the life of your vehicle's battery, load shedding
is provided for both the interior and exterior lights.
If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar, or if the
dimmer control is rotated upwards for approximately
10 minutes, the interior lights will automatically turn off.

If the headlights are left on, or turned on, when the
ignition is turned OFF, the headlights will automatically
turn off after approximately eight minutes.
NOTE: Battery saver mode is cancelled if the ignition is
ON.

Headlight Delay

To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a
headlight delay that will leave the headlights on for
approximately 90 seconds. This delay is initiated when
the ignition is turned OFF while the headlight switch is
on, and then the headlight switch is cycled off. Headlight
delay can be cancelled by either turning the headlight
switch on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
