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.
