Safety Warnings and Symbols
A box with the word CAUTION is used to tell about things
that could hurt you or others if you were to ignore the
warning.
CAUTION:
{
These mean there is something that could hurt
you or other people.
Cautions tell what the hazard is and what to do to avoid
or reduce the hazard. Read these cautions.
A circle with a slash
through it is a safety
symbol which means
"Do Not," "Do not do this,"
or "Do not let this happen."
A notice tells about something that can damage the
vehicle.
Notice: These mean there is something that could
damage your vehicle.
Many times, this damage would not be covered by the
vehicle's warranty, and it could be costly. The notice
tells what to do to help avoid the damage.
There are also warning labels on the vehicle which use
the same words, CAUTION or Notice.
