V
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.
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.”
vi
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.
