Outside Temperature
Because engine temperature can increase the displayed
temperature, temperature readings are slowly updated
when vehicle speed is below 20 mph (30 km/h).
ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
Your vehicle may be equipped with two power outlets.
The primary power outlet is located in the forward
portion of the center console and in the lower center of
the instrument panel. Accessories powered through this
outlet are protected by a 15 amp fuse. The outlet may be
converted to a cigar lighter by installing the dealer
obtained smoker’s package. The outlet is operated by the
ignition switch, when in the “on/run” or “acc” positions

power by performing the following:
•Remove the fuse cover from the left end of the
instrument panel (see the paragraph on fuses in sec-
tion 7 of this manual.)
•Remove fuse #6 (its on the upper right of the fuse
block) from its “IGN” position.
