Specifications
Front Reading Lamps
The front reading lamps, located on the headliner,
are turned on or
off by pressing one of the buttons
located near each lamp.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or garage door opener.
When the ignition is turned
off,
the power
to
these
features will automatically turn
off after
10
minutes.
Power will be restored for an additional
10
minutes
if
any door is opened, the trunk is opened or the courtesy
lamp switch is turned on. To restore power back to
the cigarette lighters the ignition must be turned
back to
RUN.
Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed
to
monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when
the battery is
in
a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a
higher rpm setting than normal
to
make sure the
battery charges. High electrical loads may occur when
several of the following are
on:
headlamps, high beams,
rear window defogger, fan at high speed, heated
seats
(if
equipped) and engine cooling fans.
If your vehicle’s battery remains in a heavy discharge
condition for a long period
of time, the fan, rear
defogger, heated seats and heated mirrors
will
be
disabled and the DIC
will
display BATTERY SAVER
ACTIVE. This can happen either under long periods
of
idling or low speed driving with high electrical loading,
or in the event
of
a charging system fault.
