Notice:These mean there is something

be costly. But the notice will tell what to do to help
avoid the damage.

CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors
or in different words.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle.
They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

the ignition and take it with you. This will lock
your ignition and transmission. Also, always
remember to lock the doors.

safe driving. Here are some ways in which you
