How to Use This Manual
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning

your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll find that pictures and words work together to explain things quickly.

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

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.

this book.

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
