WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Viper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The battery save mode is enabled by performing the following:

Insert the key into the ignition cylinder.
Cycle the ignition key from OFF to ACC four times without going to the RUN position.
Leave the switch in the OFF position after the fourth cycle. This puts the BCM into the LEARN mode.
Using the drivers door lock switch, UNLOCK the power locks. A single chime and a horn chirp will tell the customer that the battery save mode is being enabled.
- VTSS may be armed before the BCM Sleep Mode starts by using the RKE or the door lock switch.
- All interior and exterior lights will be turned off.
- Accessory delay will be cancelled.
- Cycling the ignition to RUN will cancel the feature. NOTE: The customer can enter and exit the vehicle by pressing the exterior door handle, this will wake up the BCM. If the vehicle was locked, then the customer must use the RKE Unlock and then press the exterior handle again. If the ignition is NOT cycled to RUN, then the BCM will re-enable this feature.
