Active Fuel Management™
Vehicles with V8 engines may have Active FuelManagement™. This system allows the engine tooperate on either all or half of its cylinders, dependingon the driving conditions.
When less power is required, such as cruising at aconstant vehicle speed, the system will operate in thehalf cylinder mode, allowing the vehicle to achievebetter fuel economy. When greater power demands arerequired, such as accelerating from a stop, passing,or merging onto a freeway, the system will maintainfull-cylinder operation.
If the vehicle has an Active Fuel Management™indicator, seeDIC Operation and Displaysonpage 4!41for more information on using this display.

Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
The vehicle may have a Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)system. Read this entire section before using thesystem.
{WARNING:
SBZA is only a lane changing aid and does not
replace driver vision. SBZA does not detect:
.Vehicles outside the side blind zones which
may be rapidly approaching.
.Pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Failure to use proper care when changing lanes
may result in damage to the vehicle, injury,
or death. Always check the outside and rearview
mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use the
turn signal before changing lanes.
When the system detects a vehicle in the side blindzone, amber SBZA displays light up in the side mirrors.This indicates that it may be unsafe to change lanes.Before making a lane change, always check the SBZAdisplay, check the outside and rearview mirrors, lookover your shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and usethe turn signal.
3-48

SBZA Detection Zones
The SBZA sensor covers a zone of approximatelyone lane over from both sides of the vehicle,3.5 m (11 ft). This zone starts at each side mirror andgoes back approximately 16 ft. (5.0 m). The height ofthe zone is approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and2.0 m (6 ft) off the ground.
Use caution while changing lanes when towing a trailer,as the SBZA detection zones do not change when atrailer is towed.
How the System Works
Left Side Mirror DisplayRight Side Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both outside mirrordisplays will briefly come on to indicate that the systemis operating. When the vehicle is moving forward, theleft or right side mirror SBZA display will light up if avehicle is detected in that blind zone.
If the turn signal is activated and a vehicle is alsodetected on the same side, the SBZA display will flashto give you extra warning not to change lanes.
SBZA displays do not come on while the vehicle isapproaching or passing other vehicles. At speedsgreater then 32 km/h (20 mph), SBZA displays maycome on when a vehicle you have passed remains in ordrops back into the detection zone.
SBZA can be disabled through the Driver InformationCenter (DIC). SeeDriver Information Center (DIC)onpage 4!41for more information. If the SBZA is disabledby the driver, the SBZA mirror displays will not light upduring normal driving.
When the System Does Not Seem To Work
Properly
Occasional missed alerts can occur under normalcircumstances and will increase in wet conditions.The system does not need to be serviced due to anoccasional missed alert. The number of missed alertswill increase with increased rainfall or road spray.
If the SBZA displays do not light up when the system ison and vehicles are in the blind zone, the system mayneed service. Take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer.
