1.3.1 Safety Alert Symbol
The exclamation mark within a triangle is the Safety Alert
Symbol.
The Safety Alert Symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME
ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! The symbol is
used to attract attention to safety hazards found on
vehicle safety decals and throughout this manual.
The message that follows the symbol contains important
information about Safety. To avoid possible death or
injury, carefully read and follow all safety messages. Fully
understand the potential causes of death or injury.
Also, know where to obtain medical assistance, how to
use a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher/fire suppression
system. Keep emergency telephone numbers (fire and
police departments, ambulance, rescue squad or para-
medics, etc.) nearby. If working alone, routinely check
with another person to help assure personal safety.

ual. Each signal word indicates the existence and degree

ous situation exists on or near the vehicle which would
