10 seconds after your key is removed from the ignition to
provide an illuminated exit.

position will turn on the lamp. The DOOR position
will turn on the lamp while a door is opened. The

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, footwell, visor
vanity or glove box) is left on when 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, or
·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 Outlets
With accessory power outlets you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.The accessory power outlet is located to the right of
the ashtray.
Notice:When using accessory power outlets the
maximum load should not exceed 15 amps. Be sure
to turn off any electrical equipment when not in
use. Leaving electrical equipment on for extended
periods can drain the battery.
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.
Notice:Adding some electrical equipment to your
vehicle can damage it or keep other things from
working as they should. This wouldn't be covered by
your warranty. Check with your dealer before
adding electrical equipment, and never use anything
that exceeds the amperage rating.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation instructions included with
the equipment.
Notice:Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not hang any type of accessory
or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.
