Battery Run-Down Protection

Your vehicle has a battery run-down feature 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 or CB radio.

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.
