As we make the giant leap from 2011 car technology to a 2026 high tech version, the learning curve steep. I'm thrilled to have the modern safety and other features, but they only are useful if I understand them!
Although I haven't watched them all, I found that there are non-car company videos to help. Here is a sample.
AARP has a free online course and additional videos to help! AARP Smart Driver Tek cours
Hubby found a YouTube video that explains all the symbols, buttons and other things in front of the driver. He searched by the year, make and model of the new car. YouTube to the rescue with instructions once again (also great for home fix-its instructions and diagnoses.)
I also found this one - How to park using a rear view camera
The printed manual is over 500 pages long in tiny print and with a poor index and poor illustrations so we are not finding it helpful. It seems more like something written by engineers to satisfy legal requirements.
What have you found to help you learn about new car technology?
What have I found? YOUR post here, with links! I'll be back to take notes.
ReplyDeletePS: Thank you for posting this! Ours didn't come with a manual at all. :(
DeleteYour manual should be available online I would think. Ours said it was also available online.
ReplyDeleteOur manual is very poorly set up as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
When my car was new, it made me nervous driving and trying to figure out how to turn on high beams, or the windshield wipers or the rear wipers. We so rarely have rain, I forget and reforget how to turn on the rear wipers over and over again!! Nice to know folks have created videos to help us out. I had no idea.
