Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these
blue notices:

In the blue notice area, we tell you
about something that can damage your
vehicle. Many times, this damage would
not be covered by your warranty, and it
could be costly. But the notice will tell
you what to do to help avoid the
damage.
When you read other manuals,
you
might see CAUTION and NOTICE
warnings in different colors or in
different words. In this manual, we’ve
used the familiar words and colors that
Chevrolet has used for years.
You’ll also see warning labels on your
vehicle. They use the same colors, and
the words CAUTION or NOTICE.
