How to Use this Manual

Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning

to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you

do this, it 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.

Safety Warnings and Symbols

You will find a number of safety cautions in this book.

We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you

about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore

the warning.

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 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 the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

Vehicle Symbols

Your vehicle may be equipped with components and

labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols,

used on your vehicle, 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 in the Index:

“Engine Compartment Overview”

“Instrument Panel”

“Comfort Controls”

“Audio Systems”

Also see “Warning Lights and Gages” in the Index.

These are some examples of vehicle symbols you may find on your vehicle:
