Battery Run-Down Protection; Accessory Power Outlet(S) - Saturn 2009 AURA Owner's Manual

Battery Run-Down Protection

The battery run-down feature is designed to protect the
vehicle's battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading lamps, or dome
lamp) is left on when the ignition is turned off, the
battery run-down protection system automatically shuts
the lamp off after 20 minutes. This prevents draining
of the battery.
To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the following:
•
Open any door.
•
Press any Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
button.
•
Press the power door lock switch.
•
Press the remote trunk release.
•
Turn the lamp that was left on to off and then to on
again.

Accessory Power Outlet(s)

Accessory power outlets can be used to connect
auxiliary electrical equipment, such as a cellular
telephone.
There are two accessory power outlets. One accessory
power outlet is inside the center storage console and
the other is located on the center storage console below
the climate controls.
To use an outlet, lift the protective cap. When not in use,
always cover the outlet with the protective cap. The
accessory power outlet is operational at all times.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment plugged in for
an extended period of time while the vehicle is off
will drain the battery. Power is always supplied
to the outlets. Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 20 ampere rating.
