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

if it is suspected that exhaust is
coming into the vehicle:

completely down.
. Have the vehicle repaired
immediately.

engine running in an enclosed
area such as a garage or a
building that has no fresh air
ventilation.
