Since the specification of your vehicle depends on the items of equipment ordered, certain descriptions and illustra- tions may differ from your vehicle’s equipment. The detailed index at the back of this Owner’s Manual contains a complete listing of all subjects. Rollover Warning Label Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the U.S. government notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up. 6 INTRODUCTION Symbols Consult the following table for a description of the symbols that may be used on your vehicle or throughout this Owner’s Manual: INTRODUCTION 7 WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS/ALTERATIONS 1 This Owner’s Manual contains WARNINGS against oper- ating procedures that could result in a collision, bodily WARNING! injury and/or death.
