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.

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.

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.

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:

I

NOTICE:

I

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

the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

vii

Vehicle Symbols

These are

some

of

the

symbols

you

may
