passenger or rear seats.

How to Use This Manual

Many people read the owner manual from

beginning to 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.

Index

A good place to quickly locate information about

the vehicle is the Index in the back of the manual.

It is an alphabetical list of what is in the manual

and the page number where it can be found.

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.

{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.

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.”

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,
