The SOHC V-10 features one camshaft in each cylinder head (at the top of each cylinder bank), operating 3 valves, 2 intake and 1 exhaust
The SOHC design provides an advanced level of valve control
Deep-skirt engine block and low-friction internal components mean greater reliability and fuel economy
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) uses electronic sensors instead of mechanical linkage to deliver seamless and consistent engine response
Silent-design chain cam drive contributes to durability and helps reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
Coil-on-plug ignition system design for high-mileage durability
Centrally located, unique design, platinum-tipped spark plugs help provide sure-fire ignition and complete combustion. Platinum retains its conductive properties much longer than traditional spark plugs, thereby increasing reliability over the years and requiring less maintenance
A fail-safe cooling system is designed to help protect the engine from potential damage due to a loss of coolant. If the engine overheats, it will automatically switch from 10-cylinder operation to alternating 5-cylinder operation. The vehicle will continue to operate, but with limited engine power. This system allows the driver to travel a short distance to obtain service or reach a service facility if the engine overheats. The distance that can be traveled depends upon vehicle load, outside temperature and road conditions
