Buick 2005 manual Battery Run-Down Protection, Instrument Panel Switchbank

Battery Run-Down Protection

Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from draining the battery, in case you accidentally leave the interior or exterior lamps on. If the interior lamps are left on while the ignition is in OFF, they will automatically turn off after 10 minutes. If the exterior lamps are left on while the ignition is in OFF with all doors and

the liftgate closed, they will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.

If your vehicle has less than 14 miles (24 km) on the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after only three minutes.

If the interior lamps are turned off as a result of the battery saver feature, they may be turned back on by turning the interior lamp control to OFF and then back to ON. The battery saver will not turn the interior lamps off automatically after doing this. They will have to

be turned off manually.
