RTFM! have you Read the manual for you car?

[jayfish]

Just interested really(and bored)

[Eddh]

Usually consult it if I need to.

[Steve Evil]

No, can't make much sense of Japanese myself, although there are some amusing pictures.

[simonparky]

[bkay88]

Salient points when required

Same here.

[Adenauer]

What's the point? You can hardly do any work on your own on a modern car these days anyway.

not the latest one just yet, I'm picking it up next week

[Piers917]

My company Mazda 3 never came with one...

[Mattt]

I generally ignore it for a week or so, try and figure out everything for myself, and then maybe read it to find out anything I missed.

More fun that way.

[stigmundfreud]

I read mine the other day after getting fed up with reading the ingredients for toothpaste whilst on the thinking chair

[plasticpig]

Reading manuals is for wimps.

[LordGrover]

Cover to cover, every time.
It's how I know stuff.

[rescynic]

the only manual i got with my car was the kama sutra in the glovebox...

Do you get Manuals with TVRs? I somehow imagine it to be a pile of photocopied sheets with loads of tipp-ex on it.

[aussiebruce]

No never. I found a button behing the steering wheel that selects radio stations the day before i sold the car. I'd only had it two and a half years.

I am a Manual we ( )

I read every Manual I have ever had for everything... from TVs to Coat Hooks to Ironing Instructions on Socks... I can't help it.

Every last word. Digested and pointlessly remembered for a 'useful' later date.

[cmsapms]

I read mine a few times while building the car, but haven't looked at it since.

[williamp]

In the past I have:

-bought the manual off ebay BEFORE I bought the car
-downloaded .pdf's of the manual so i can read before buying the car
-immediately got home and read the thing from cover to cover just to see if there is anything I have missed...

[mechsympathy]

I'm a bloke. Half the fun is in figuring out how to use it.
