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 the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned
OFF,
the
power to
these features will automatically
turn
off
after
10
minutes
(three minutes if a new car has
15
miles or less). 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.
Battery
Guard
Storage
This feature is for long term use and miust be
programmed through the DIC while the ignition is in the
RUN
position. Battery guard storage protects the battery
by placing the vehicle in a storage mode
so
that the
radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and Remote Keyless
Entry
(RKE)
will not drain the battery over a long
period
of
time.
To
begin programming, press the INFORMATION
and RESET buttons at
the
same time for approximately
two seconds. Press the RESET button to answer
“yes” and press the INFORMATION button to
indicate a “no” response.
The first prompt
to
appear relates to the automatic door
locks. This feature can be bypassed by pressing the
INFORMATION button. The STORAGE MODE?
prompt appears next. To select, press the
RESET
button.
ENABLE
STORAGE MODE? will then appear. A yes
or no response must be given. If the INFORMATION
(no)
button is pressed, the DISABLE STORAGE
MODE? prompt will appear. Once again, a yes or no
response is required.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode approximately
20
minutes after the ignition key has been turned
off.
The
RKE
will also be disabled at this point. The RKE
will reactivate when a door or the trunk is opened,
however,
if
your vehicle
is
left inactive for another
20
minutes the
RKE
will
re-enter the storage mode.
Your
vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key
is
turned out of
LOCK.
The system will
“wake-up” when the
door
key is inserted into the door
however, your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of
LOCK
before the battery
guard is disabled.
