How
to Use
this
Manual
Many
people read their owner’s manual from beginning
to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you
do
this, it 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 what’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
and
the
word
CAUTION
to
tell
you
about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore
the
warning.
These mean there is something that
could
hurt
you
or other people.
In the 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.”

this
book
