RETAINED ACCESSORY POWER MODE - OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE ABILITY TO PUT POWER WINDOWS UP WITH A WINDOW OF TIME AFTER KEYS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION BUT NO DOORS OPENED - WINDOWS WILL NOT OPERATE - BUT RADIO AND INSIDE LIGHT DOES STAY ON....OWNERS MANUAL SAYS IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS......BUT NONE OF THE CARS CHECKED AT THE DEALERSHIP WORK LIKE THIS....I ENJOYED THIS FEATURE IN MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER.....AND JUST WISH THIS CAR DID WHAT THE MANUAL SAYS - SO FAR DEALERSHIP SAYS THE MANUAL IS OFTEN GENERIC AND THAT THIS MUST NOT BE A FEATURE OF THE EQUINOX ---I HOPE THEY ARE WRONG AND SOME PROGRAMMING WILL CORRECT THIS MATTER - *AK
