the headlights if it detects that the windshield wipers
have been in operation for more than 10 seconds.

This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination
for about 90 seconds when leaving your vehicle in an
unlighted area. For vehicles equipped with Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), this is customer pro-
grammable to Off, 30, 60, or 90 seconds. (See the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) section of this
manual.)
To activate the delay, turn off the ignition while the
headlights are still on. Then turn off the headlights within
45 seconds. The delay interval begins when the ignition is
turned off.
If the headlights are turned off before the ignition, they
will go off in the normal manner.

temperature, temperature readings are slowly updated
when vehicle speed is below 20 mph (30 km/h).
ELECTRCAL POWER OUTLET
Your vehicle is equipped with one power outlet which is
located in the forward portion of the center console if
your vehicle has bucket seats or in the lower center of the
instrument panel if your vehicle has bench or split bench
