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

®

Vehicles with V8 engines and an
automatic transmission, except ZL1,
have Active Fuel Management®.
This system 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
demands are required, such as

accelerating from a stop, passing,
or merging onto a freeway, the
system will maintain full-cylinder
operation.
