The Headlights with Wipers feature can
be turned on or off through the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for

This feature is particularly useful
when exiting your vehicle in an unlit
area. It provides the safety of head-
light illumination for up to 90 seconds
after turning the ignition switch to the
LOCK position.
To activate the delay, turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position while the
headlights are still on. Then, turn off
the headlights within 45 seconds. The
delay interval begins when you turn
off the headlights. Only the headlights
will illuminate during this time.
If you turn the headlights, parking
lights, or ignition switch ON again,
the system will cancel the delay.If you turn the headlights off before
the ignition, they will turn off in the
normal manner.
The Headlight delay time is program-
mable on vehicles equipped with the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for

NOTE: The wipers will automati-
cally return to the park position if
you turn the ignition switch OFF
while they are operating. The wip-
ers will resume operation when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON position again.CAUTION!
 Turn the windshield wipers offwhen driving through an auto-
matic car wash. Damage to the
windshield wipers may result if
the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the wind-
shield wiper blades from return-
ing to the off position. If the wind-
shield wiper control is turned off
and the blades cannot return to
the off position, damage to the
wiper motor may occur.
INTERMITTENT WIPER
SYSTEM
Use the intermittent wiper system
when weather conditions make a
single wiping cycle with a variable
pause between cycles desirable. Ro-
tate the end of the windshield wiper/
washer control lever to the first de-
tent, and then turn the end of the lever
to select the desired delay interval.
There are five delay settings, which
allow you to regulate the wipe interval
from a minimum of one cycle every
second to a maximum of approxi-
mately 18 seconds between cycles. NOTE: The wiper delay times de-
pend on vehicle speed. If the ve-
hicle is moving less than 16 km/h,
delay times will be doubled.

trol system maintains speed up and
down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or
gain may occur so it may be prefer-
able to drive without Electronic Speed
Control.WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be
dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the con-
ditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery.

ELECTRICAL POWER
OUTLETS
There are two 12 Volt (13 Amp) elec-
trical power outlets on this vehicle.
Both of the power outlets are pro-
tected by a fuse.
The instrument panel power outlet,
located below the climate control
knobs, has power available only when
the ignition is ON. This power outlet
will also operate a conventional cigar
lighter unit.
NOTE: To preserve the heating el-
ement, do not hold the lighter in
the heating position.A second power outlet is located in-
side the center console.
The center console power outlet is
powered directly from the battery
(power available at all times). Items
plugged into this power outlet may
discharge the battery and/or prevent
the engine from starting.
CAUTION!
Do not exceed the maximum
power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at
12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp)
power rating is exceeded the fuse
protecting the system will need to
be replaced.
(Continued)
CAUTION!
(Continued)
Power outlets are designed for ac-
cessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power out-
lets as this will damage the outlet
and blow the fuse. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage
not covered by your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
 Only devices designed for use inthis type of outlet should be in-
serted into any 12 Volt outlet.
 Do not touch with wet hands.
 Close the lid when not in use and while driving the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and failure.CAUTION!
 Many accessories that can be
plugged in draw power from the
vehicle's battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum
cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade
the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
 After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the
vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the
vehicle must be driven a suffi-
cient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehi-
cle's battery.CIGAR LIGHTER AND
ASH RECEIVER
