With this option, your vehicle is equipped with a
portable cellular telephone system. The system has
steering wheel telephone controls and information
output through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Voice activation with remote record and hands
-free
operation are standard features. For more information,
see the ªCellular Phone System Supplement.º A user's

Accessory Power Outlets
Your vehicle may be equipped with accessory power
outlets. If you have the rear storage door trim armrest,
the power outlet is located under the storage lid. If you
have a vehicle with a center storage compartment
located on the instrument panel, you may also have
an accessory power outlet in the storage drawer.
The outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment
such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc. Follow the
proper installation instructions that are included with
any electrical equipment you install.Certain power accessory plugs may not be compatible
to the power accessory outlet and could result in blown
vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem
see your dealer for additional information on the power
accessory plugs.
The accessory power outlet will only operate when the
ignition is in ON and for 10 minutes after turning the
ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory power
outlet to operate regardless of ignition position, and
for unlimited periods of time, see ªEngine Compartment
Bussed Electrical Centerº in the Index or see
your dealer.
Leaving an accessory on for a long period of time, or a
fuse in the wrong place, can drain the vehicle's battery.
NOTICE:
When using the accessory power outlet, the
maximum load of any electrical equipment
should not exceed 15 amps.

Use this system as an aid to help you in seeing objects
beyond the headlamps. Do this by occasionally glancing
at the image as you would a rearview mirror. Do not
stare at the image.
The Night Vision System can be operated if:
The brightness control is in any position except OFF
it is dark enough outside,
the headlamps or fog lamps (if equipped) are on and
the ignition is turned to ON.The controls are located to the left of and below the
steering wheel. They are used to adjust the brightness
and location of the image. Adjust the IMAGE control so
the image is as low as possible while remaining visible.
Slide the dimmer control until the image is no brighter
than necessary to clearly and comfortably see the image.
When the system comes on, you'll see the Night Vision
System symbol in the image. After about one minute,
you should see the view of the road ahead. If you don't
see the image after about two minutes (on cold days it
may take longer for the image to display), there may
be something wrong with the system. See your dealer
for service.
CAUTION:
If the Night Vision System image is too bright,
or too high in your field of view, it may take you
more time to see things you need to see when it's
dark outside. Be sure to keep the image dim and
placed low in your field of view.
