RE: Do people want a hard copy of the owners' manual for their car?

[Pamela Nelson <likes2read74 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

My husband and I share a car, and we periodically have to rent another for a day or two. One time I rented a car in the morning and later on could not for the life of me figure out how to switch on the headlights. After a good five-ten minutes of fiddling around, I finally turned to the operator's manual, which solved the problem. 

 

I don't know if it's because we've only owned American cars and this particular rental was a Japanese make, or what. And I'm not sure what I would have done if the manual had not been in the glove compartment - call the rental 24-hr roadside assistance number, I guess.

 

I know I would have been very unhappy if the only help available was a CD version of the manual.
