Parking On Flammable Surfaces
{
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 or half 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 the half cylinder
mode, allowing the vehicle to achieve better
fuel economy. When greater power is
required, such as accelerating from a stop,
passing, or merging onto a highway, the
system will maintain full-cylinder operation.
If the vehicle has an Active Fuel
Management indicator, see Driver
Information Centre (DIC) for more
information on 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.

the remote key outside the vehicle, it will
continue to run for up to 15 minutes.
If the vehicle is left parked and running with
the remote key 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.

out of P (Park) while it is running.
