Buick Encore: Lighting Features / Battery Power Protection and Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
Battery Power Protection
The battery saver feature protects against draining the vehicle's battery.
If some interior lamps or the manual parking lamps or headlamps are left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system automatically turns the lamp off after some time.
To restart the 10-minute timer, turn the
exterior lamp control to the 
position and
then back to the

position. To
keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the ignition must be on or in
ACC/ACCESSORY.

position
and then back to the 
or
position.
To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, the ignition must be on or in ACC/ACCESSORY.
