Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when either
door is opened and it is dark outside. Press
the button to
turn them
on. Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
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 either door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
This feature is for long term use and must 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
RKE will not
drain
the battery over a long period of time.
To begin programming, press the INFORMATION
(INFO) and RESET (INFO RESET) buttons at the same
time
for about two seconds. The first message to appear
is DOORS LOCK IN GEAR. Press the INFORMATION
(INFO) button after this prompt is displayed until
STORAGE MODE prompt appears on the DIC. Press
the
TRIP SET (TRIP RESET’) button to answer “yes”
or press the RESET (INFO RESET) button to indicate a
“no” response.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FEATURE ON appears when a yes response is made
and
FEATURE OFF shows when a no response is made.
Since this
is the last personalization feature available, a
yes or no response
will end out of the DIC display.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode about
20 minutes
after the ignition key
has been turned off. The WKE 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. This mirror automatically changes to reduce
glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it
is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change
may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return
to its clear daytime
state
when the glare is reduced.
