Battery Run-Down Protection Your vehicle has a battery run-down protection feature designed to protect your vehicle's battery.

This will avoid draining the battery. To reactivate the interior lamps, doone of the following: Lift the driver's door handle, open any door or press any remote keyless entry transmitter button (if equipped), press the power door lock switch, press the remote trunk release or turn the lamp that was left on to off and then to on again. Accessory Power Outlets With accessory power outlets you can plug in auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio.

Notice: When using accessory power outlets the maximum load should not exceed 15 amps. Be sure to turn off any electrical equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods can drain the battery. 3-17
