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, footwell, visor
vanity or glove box) is left on when 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, or
•
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.
Accessory Power Outlets
With accessory power outlets you can plug in auxiliary
electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or
CB radio.
The accessory power outlet is located to the right of the
ashtray.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.
