How to Use This Manual
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning to end when they
first receive their new vehicle. This will help you learn about the features
and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and
words work together to explain things quickly.
INDEX: A good place to look for what you need is the Index in back of the
manual. It’s an alphabetical list of all that’s
in the manual, and the page
number where
you’ll find it.
Safety Warnings and Symbols
You will find a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box with
gray background and the word CAUTION to
tell you about things that could
hurt you if you were to ignore the warning.
A CAUTION:
These mean there is something that could hurt you or other
people.
~~ ~ ~~ ~~____
In the gray caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell you
what to do to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions.
If
you don’t, you or others could be hurt.
You will also find a circle with a slash through it in this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,‘‘ “Don’t do this,” or “Don’t let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle.
In the 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.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use yellow for
cautions, blue for notices and the words CAUTION or NOTICE.
