Consumer Cut Off: Notes

The Consumer Cut Off function interrupts battery voltage to circuits preventing inadvertent battery drain if one of these consumers were to remain activated. Circuits controlled by consumer cut off will be switched off as the GM enters into the sleep mode.

For example, the interior lights are connected to the consumer cut out circuit (KL 30) and can remain on if one of the control switches are left on. The consumer cut off will deactivate KL 30 to the interior lighting after 16 minutes (or with the DISplus/GT-1).

The following circuits are controlled by consumer cut off:

• Map/Reading Lights
• Glove Box/Luggage Compartment Lights
• Transmission Range Indicator Light
• Overload Protection Relay for
  • Power Seat Motors
  • Steering Column Motors
