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.
iV
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.
