5. The P indicator will turn white and

Check that the ignition is switched on,
the engine is running, the brake pedal

button is pressed when you are

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

This vehicle's engine may be equipped
with Active Fuel Management, which
allows the engine to operate on either
all of its cylinders, or in reduced
cylinder operation mode, depending
on the driving conditions.
When less power is required, such as
cruising at a constant vehicle speed,
the system will operate in reduced
cylinder operation 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.
If the vehicle has an Active Fuel
Management indicator, see Driver
Information Centre (DIC) for more
information about using this display.

Extended Parking

It is best not to park with the vehicle
running. If the vehicle is left running,
be sure it will not move and there is
adequate ventilation.
See Shifting Into Park 0 209 and
Engine Exhaust 0 211.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
outside the vehicle, it will continue to
run for up to 15 minutes.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
inside the vehicle, it will continue to
run for up to 30 minutes.
The vehicle could turn off sooner if it
is parked on a hill, due to lack of
available fuel.
The timer will reset if the vehicle is
taken out of P (Park) while it is
running.
