Battery Saver Feature

  • This feature is designed to prevent battery discharge if the headlights are left in the ON position. The system automatically turns off the parking lights 30 seconds after the key is removed from the ignition switch and the door is opened and closed.
  • With this feature, the parking lights automatically turn off if the driver parks at the roadside at night and opens the driver's door. If you want the parking lights to remain on when the key is removed from the ignition switch, do the following:
    1) Open the driver's door.
    2) Turn the parking lights off and on again using the light switch on the steering column.
