downshift again to second gear. The transmission will
upshift as the vehicle reaches the top of the hill.
When Descending A Hill
If vehicle speed rises 3 mph (5 km/h) over the Speed
Control SET speed, the transmission will downshift to
third gear. This provides engine braking to keep vehicle
speed under control. The transmission will not downshift
below third gear to control vehicle overspeed. The trans-
mission will upshift to fourth gear after the vehicle has
reached the bottom of the hill.
NOTE:On very steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain
may occur. It may be preferable to drive without Speed
Control.
Rolling Hills
The transmission may downshift into third gear and
remain there as the vehicle travels over rolling hills. The
transmission will upshift into fourth gear when the road
flattens out.
The transmission will resume its normal shift schedule if
you depress the accelerator pedal during any of the
above conditions.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE
The overhead console contains dome/reading lights, an
optional universal garage door opener (HomeLink), an
optional sunroof switch, and either an Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) or an Overhead Travel Infor-
mation System (OTIS).

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).
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
seats. Accessories powered through this outlet are pro-
tected 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 “run” or “acc” positions only. You may
convert the outlet from ignition to battery 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.
•Move the fuse slightly right and insert it in the fuse #6
“BAT” location in the fuse block.
•Reinstall the fuse cover.
