How to Use This Manual . .I
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning to end when they first receive their new vehicle. This
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
the back of the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of all
that’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 with gray background and the word
CAUTION to tell you about things that could hurt you if
you were
to ignore the warning. In the gray 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.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also in this book you will find these notices:
NOTICE:
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
yellow
for cautions, blue for notices and the words
CAUTION or NOTICE.
