Parking over Things That Burn
{ Warning
T
hings that can burn could touch hot
ex
haust 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
po
wer 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 Shifting Into Park 3 201 and Engine Exhaust
3203.
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.
