Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle has a battery run-down protection
feature designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.

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.

following:
Turn on the ignition.
Turn the exterior lamp control off and then on.
Open a door.

button (if equipped).

when any door on the vehicle is left open and
the ignition is in OFF.

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.

for extended periods will drain the battery.
