Battery Saver

The BCM  provides automatic shut-off of the courtesy and demand lamps after a time-out period when the ignition is OFF. A timer in the BCM  starts when:

• the ignition transitions to OFF.
• any door or liftgate/luggage compartment lid becomes ajar.
• the unlock button of a RKE  transmitter is pressed.
• a door is unlocked using a key.
• the door lock switch is pressed.

When 10 minutes (30 minutes for demand lamps) have elapsed, the BCM  automatically shuts off voltage to the lamps. The timer restarts (voltage is restored if the BCM  is in battery saver mode) if:

• the ignition transitions out of OFF.
• any door or liftgate/luggage compartment lid becomes ajar.
• the unlock button of the RKE  transmitter is pressed.
• a door is unlocked using a key.
• the door lock switch is pressed.
