This helps prevent the vehicle's battery from draining in case the interior
courtesy lamps, reading lamps, trunk lamp, underhood lamp, glove box lamps, or sun
visor vanity lamps, if equipped, are accidently left on. If any of these lamps are
left on while the ignition is off, they will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.
The lamps will not come back on again until one of the following occurs:
• | The ignition is turned on. |
• | The interior lamps control is turned off, then to door or on. |
Your vehicle has a battery run-down feature designed to protect your vehicle's
battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading lamps, dome lamp or glove box) is left
on when the ignition is turned off, the battery run-down protection system will automatically
shut the lamp off after 20 minutes. This will avoid draining the battery.
To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the following:
• | Press any remote keyless entry 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. |
