leave this manual in the vehicle.

How to Use This Manual

end when they ﬁrst receive their new vehicle. If this is

done, it can help you learn about the features and

controls for the vehicle. Pictures and words work together

in the owner manual to explain things.

Safety Warnings and Symbols

There are a number of safety cautions in this book. We

use a box and the word CAUTION to tell about things

that could hurt you if you were to ignore the warning.

You will also ﬁnd a circle

with a slash through it in

this book. This safety

symbol means “Do Not,”

“Do Not do this” or

“Do Not let this happen.”

{ CAUTION:

These mean there is something that could hurt

you or other people.

In the 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 do not,

you or others could be hurt.

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Also, in this manual you will ﬁnd these notices:

Notice: These mean there is something that could

damage your vehicle.

A notice tells about something that can damage the

vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered

by your vehicle’s warranty, and it could be costly. But

the notice will tell 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.

There are also warning labels on the vehicle. They use

the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

Vehicle Symbols

The vehicle has components and labels that use symbols

instead of text. Symbols are shown along with the text

describing the operation or information relating to a

speciﬁc component, control, message, gage, or indicator.

If you need help ﬁguring out a speciﬁc name of a

component, gage, or indicator, reference the following

topics:

• Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1
