Throughout this manual, certain items are la-
beled Note, Caution, Warning or Danger. These
terms alert you to precautions that may involved
damage to your vehicle or a risk to your personal

of information that could assist in understanding
the use or care of a feature item.

tions that must be adhered to. These precautions

whenever possible, with the lap belt portion
worn low and snug throughout the
pregnancy.

All moveable or swiveling seats should be
placed and locked in forward facing positions
while the vehicle is moving.

emergency.
