Battery Saver
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Time-out is 30 seconds if the vehicle is in Factory or Transport mode.
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.
- an UNLOCK button of the 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.
