Battery Rundown Protection Feature

A battery rundown protection feature has been added to this vehicle in order to extend the battery life. INADVERTENT loads (modules or functions that drain current from the battery) are automatically turned oft after predetermined time intervals:

Inadvertent Loads: Higher current loads that can be left on, such as courtesy lights, glove compartment light and luggage compartment light.

Battery rundown protection operates in two different modes:
- Dealer/plant mode: Battery rundown protection is in the dealer/plant mode when the vehicle has logged less than 15 miles since power up. For inadvertent loads, (the light left on accidently, the door left afar, etc), battery power turns off after three minutes. Opening and closing a door, or cycling the ignition restores inadvertent power functions.
- Customer mode: Battery rundown protection is in the customer mode when the vehicle has logged greater than 15 miles since power up. Customer mode operates in the same manner as described above, except that inadvertent power shuts off after 20 minutes.
