About this manual
•Before you operate your vehicle for the first
time, please familiarize yourself with the
information found in the chapters "Your
Driving Environment" and "During Your
Trip."
•Information contained in the balance of the
manual is extremely useful and should be
read after operating the vehicle for the first
time.
•The manual is structured so that it can be
used for reference. For this reason, it
should be kept in the vehicle for ready
access.
FootnotesCertain pages of this manual contain informa-
tion in the form of footnotes at the bottom of
the page. This information supplements the
text that the footnote number refers to (a letter
is used if the footnote refers to text in a table).
Display textsThere are several displays in the driver’s field
of vision that show messages generated by
various systems and functions in the vehicle.
These texts are indicated in the Owner’s Man-
ual by being in slightly larger type than the sur-
rounding text and are printed in gray, (for
example:
Change doors unlock setting).
DecalsThere are various types of decals in the vehicle
whose purpose is to provide important infor-
mation in a clear and concise way. The impor-
tance of these decals is explained as follows,
in descending order of importance.

NOTE
The decals shown in the Owner’s Manual
are examples only and are not intended to
be reproductions of the decals actually used
in the vehicle. The purpose is to give an indi-
cation of how they look and their approxi-
mate location in the vehicle. The applicable
information for your particular vehicle can
be found on the respective decals in the
vehicle.
Types of lists used in the manual
Procedures
Procedures (step-by-step instructions), or
actions that must be carried out in a certain
order, are arranged in numbered lists in this
manual.
If there is a series of illustrations associated
with step-by-step instructions, each step
in the procedure is numbered in the same
way as the corresponding illustration.
Lists in which letters are used can be found
with series of illustrations in cases where
the order in which the instructions are car-
ried out is not important.
Arrows with or without numbers are used
to indicate the direction of a movement.
Arrows containing letters are used to indi-
cate movement.
If there are no illustrations associated with a
step-by-step list, the steps in the procedure
are indicated by ordinary numbers.
Position listsRed circles containing a number are used
in general overview illustrations in which
certain components are pointed out. The
corresponding number is also used in the
position list's description of the various
components.
