Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle has a battery run-down protection
feature designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, or visor
vanity) is left on while the ignition is turned off,
the battery run-down protection system will
automatically shut the lamp(s) off after 20 minutes.
This will avoid draining the battery.
To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the
following:
Turn on the ignition.
Turn the exterior lamp control off and then on.
Open a door.
Press any remote keyless entry transmitter
button (if equipped).
Press the remote trunk release button.
Press the power door lock switch.
The battery run-down feature will also be activated
when any door on the vehicle is left open and
the ignition is in OFF.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
With accessory power outlets you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone.
For vehicles with Traction Control system, the
accessory power outlets are located on the front of
the center console storage area and also inside the
console storage compartment. The compartment
has notches that allow power cords to be routed
outside of the console while the lid is closed. On
vehicles without Traction Control, both outlets are
located on the front of the center console storage
area. There is also an outlet in the rear cargo area
of the MAXX.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always
turn off electrical equipment when not in use
and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the
maximum amperage rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem see your dealer for
additional information on accessory power outlets.
