Normally, these actions occur in
steps or levels, without being
noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action,
this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a Driver Information
Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE or BATTERY
VOLTS LOW. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that
the driver reduce the electrical loads
as much as possible. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 5‑28. Battery Power Protection
This feature helps to prevent
battery drain if accessory lamps
are left on. If accessory lamps such
as the vanity mirror, cargo, reading,
console, or glove box are left on,
they automatically time out after
about 20 minutes. To reset the
battery protection, all of the
above lamps must be turned off
or the ignition must be in the
ACC/ACCESSORY position.
Exterior Lighting
Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off about
10 minutes after the ignition is
turned to LOCK/OFF, if the parking
lamps or headlamps have been
manually left on. This protects
against draining the battery.
To restart the10 minute timer, turn
the exterior lamp control to OFF and
then back to the parking lamp or
headlamp position.
To keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the ignition must be in
the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN
position.
