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.
To reactivate the interior lights, either:
0 The ignition must be turned on
0 The activated light switch must be
turned off and then on, OR
0 A front door must be opened.
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 turned
off 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.
