NOTE:

• Even if power steering assistance is no longer opera-

tional, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under
these conditions there will be a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds
and during parking maneuvers.

• If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for

service.

MULTI-DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM (MDS) (IF
EQUIPPED) — 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

Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking
brake is fully applied and place the shift lever in the
PARK position.

The foot operated parking brake is located below the
lower left corner of the instrument panel. To apply the
park brake, firmly push the park brake pedal fully. To
release the parking brake, press the park brake pedal a
second time and let your foot up as you feel the brake
disengage.
