Chevrolet Silverado: Starting and Operating / Active Fuel Management
If equipped, Active Fuel Management allows the gasoline engine to operate on
either all of its cylinders, or a reduced number of cylinders, depending on the
driving conditions. When less power is required, such as cruising at a constant
vehicle speed, the system will enable reduced cylinder operation, allowing the vehicle
to achieve better fuel economy. When greater power is required, such as accelerating
from a stop, passing, or merging onto a freeway, the system will maintain full-cylinder
operation.
Dynamic Fuel Management
If equipped, Dynamic Fuel Management calculates the number of cylinders needed
to maximize fuel economy and meet the driving demands. Dynamic Fuel Management allows
the engine to operate in multiple possible configurations ranging from 1-cylinder
up to the full 8-cylinder operation.
