Battery Saver
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The SJB provides automatic shut-off of the demand and courtesy lamps after a 10-minute time-out period in order to save battery voltage. A timer in the SJB is started when the ignition is turned to the OFF position and all the doors are closed. When the 10- minute time-out period has elapsed, the voltage is automatically shut off to the lamps by the SJB . While the SJB has voltage disabled, the timer resets if any of the following occur:
- The ignition is turned to any position other than OFF.
- Any door becomes ajar.
- The UNLOCK button of the RKE transmitter is pressed.
- The instrument panel dimmer switch is placed in the DOME LAMP position.
- The headlamp switch is placed in the PARKING LAMPS or HEADLAMPS ON position.
- The multifunction switch is placed in the FLASH-TO-PASS position.
- The key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder.
