Battery Run-Down Protection

Your vehicle has a battery run-down protection feature
designed to protect your vehicle's battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, or visor vanity)
is left on while the ignition is turned off, the battery
run-down protection 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:
•
Turn on the ignition.
•
Turn the exterior lamp control off and then on.
•
Open a door.
•
Press any remote keyless entry transmitter button
(if equipped).
•
Press the remote trunk release button.
•
Press the power door lock switch.
The battery run-down feature will also be activated
when any door on the vehicle is left open and the
ignition is in OFF.
