MULTI-DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM (MDS) — 5.7L

ENGINE ONLY

This feature offers improved fuel economy by shutting

off four of the engine’s eight cylinders during light load

and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no

driver inputs or additional driving skills required.

NOTE: The MDS system may take some time to return

to full functionality after a battery disconnect.

PARKING BRAKE

The parking brake should always be applied when the

driver is not in the vehicle.

WARNING!

Never use PARK position on an automatic transmis-

sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always

apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard

against vehicle movement and possible injury or

damage.

When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the

PARK position first and then apply the parking brake.

When parking on a hill, it is important to apply the

parking brake before placing the shift lever in PARK,

otherwise the load on the transmission locking mecha-

nism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of

PARK. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels

toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the

curb on an uphill grade.
