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.
