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.”
