Power Saver Mode, relay clicking on dash when off!

[HeyBales]

FYI. If you double lock with fob or with key pad the accessories, radio, lights, dash shut off in a few seconds. However the dash, back seat and bed power points will stay on for up to 90 minutes or until 12v drops to 12.1 volts. Also if place the hybrid in ready to drive and leave it there while you are eating, etc the 12v will charge just like you are driving. If you have your truck drop out of ready after 30(?) minutes or so set your parking brake (I think that allows longer run time.

24MY hybrid non-lux makes no difference with single press fob lock or double press, except the horn honk on double.
Either way lights/dash turn off in seconds.
Radio already shuts off with door opening.
Acc power points indeed as you comment.

Great tip on getting 12v charged when the daily trips aren't doing it. For me the 65% SOC setting is the problem, stops charging any decent amount while driving if already close it.

The double lock on mine apparently turns off the connection to the fob being nearby as I can walk by drivers door and stay near truck and hear no clicking until I actually get finger behind drivers door latch. I am not sure but the double lock also may give notice to computer that I will not be needing truck maybe for days which could lower battery a little! As far as the 65% 12v issue. I do not have access to that but every few months I will put my multistage noco G5 maintainer on my hood pins and leave it in intervals, of course for 3 weeks. This allows the optimization maintenance sulphation and electrolyte stratification routines etc. also allows trucks BMS to see battery at 99+% over several continuous days. My 30+ month old OEM hybrid battery shows 12.4v or more in 75°F garage. I do have a second hybrid that's 23 months old with no 12v problems. It has 2300 miles and sees noco for three weeks every 2 to 3 months.
