If the vehicle has a manual
transmission, before you get out of
the vehicle, move the shift lever into
R (Reverse), and firmly apply the
parking brake. Once the shift lever
has been placed into R (Reverse)
with the clutch pedal pressed in,
turn the ignition key to LOCK/OFF,
remove the key and release the
clutch.

vehicle is pulling a trailer, see

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 V8 engines may have
Active Fuel Management . This
system allows the engine to operate
on either all or half of its cylinders,
depending on the driving conditions.
Black plate (31,1)
Driving and Operating
When less power is required, such
as cruising at a constant vehicle
speed, the system will operate in
the half cylinder mode, allowing the
vehicle to achieve better fuel
economy. When greater power
demands are required, such as
accelerating from a stop, passing,
or merging onto a freeway, the
system will maintain full-cylinder
operation.
If the vehicle has an Active Fuel
®
Management indicator, see Driver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 5 28 for more information on
using this display.
