1994 Pontiac Grand Am Owner's Manual - Page 81

Features & Controls Battery Rundown Protection Your Pontiac is equipped with a Battery Rundown Protection feature designed to protect your vehicle's battery. When any interior light (trunk, reading, footwell or glove box) is left on when the ignition is turned off, the Battery Rundown Protection system will automatically shut the light off after 20 minutes. This will avoid draining the battery. The Battery Rundown Protection feature will also be activated when any door of your vehicle is left open. Also, if your vehicle is left with the ignition turned off for over 24 days, battery power to your clock, audio system and Remote Keyless Entry (if you have this option) will be turnedoff to reduce battery drain. When the ignition is turned on again, battery power will be resupplied. However, under these conditions, it will be necessary to reset the clock and audio system settings.
