DRIVING AND OPERATING
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.
Dynamic Fuel Management
If equipped, Dynamic Fuel
Management allows the engine to
operate in multiple cylinder patterns,
up to the full 8-cylinder operation,
depending on driving conditions.
When less power is required, such as
cruising at a constant vehicle speed,
the system will reduce any
combination of operating cylinders
enabling the vehicle to achieve better
fuel economy. When greater power is
required, such as passing or merging
onto a freeway, the system will
maintain full 8-cylinder operation.
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
and
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with 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.
The timer will reset if the vehicle is
taken out of P (Park) while it is
running.
