Battery Run-Down Protection Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from draining the battery, in case you accidentally leave the interior lamps on. If you leave any interior lamps on while the ignition is in LOCK or OFF, they will automatically turn off after 10 minutes. The lamps will not come back on again until you do one of the following: Instrument Panel Switchbank • Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY. • Turn the interior lamps thumbwheel all the way to the right, then slightly back to the left. • Open a closed door, or close and reopen a door. If your vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after only three minutes.
