Battery Saver When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the vehicle will turn off battery voltage to the interior lamps after 45 minutes. (The exterior lamps are not affected.) The purpose is to minimize extended battery drain if the lights have inadvertently been left on or if a door or the glove box is not completely closed. However, the timer will be immediately reset to another 45 minutes if any of the following occurs: s any door is open or closed s the front door handle is lifted (for Illuminated Entry only) s taking the key IN or OUT of the ignition switch s the Keyless Entry keypad is used s the Remote Entry transmitter is activated Remote Entry System (If equipped) If your vehicle has the remote entry system, you can lock and unlock the vehicle doors without using a key. The remote entry system also has a personal alarm feature. The buttons that control the system are located on the hand held transmitter that comes with your vehicle. The system will work with up to four remotes. Your vehicle came with two remotes. Additional remotes can be ordered from your dealer. The remote entry features only operate with the ignition in the OFF position. 126
