the vehicle, move the shift lever into
R (Reverse), and firmly apply the
parking brake. Once the gear lever
has been placed into R (Reverse)
with the clutch pedal pressed in,

Parking over Things

That Burn

Warning
Things that can burn could touch
hot exhaust parts under the
vehicle and ignite. Do not park
over papers, leaves, dry grass,
or other things that can burn.

Active Fuel Management

Vehicles with an automatic
transmission have Active Fuel
Management. This system allows
the engine to operate on either all or
four of its cylinders, depending on
the driving conditions.
When less power is required, such
as cruising at a constant vehicle
speed, the system will operate in
four cylinder mode, allowing the
vehicle to achieve better fuel
economy. When greater power
demands are required, such as
accelerating from a stop, overtaking,
or merging onto a freeway, the
system will maintain full-cylinder
operation.

Extended Parking

It is better not to park with the
vehicle running. If the vehicle is left
while running, follow the proper
steps to be sure the vehicle will not
move and there is adequate
ventilation. See Shifting Into Park
0 169 and Engine Exhaust 0 171.
