One of the things that you should keep in your car all the time is the owner’s manual. This instructional book is important especially when the car is new and you are still not familiar with it, but also later, as it provides useful information about the car’s features as well as important troubleshooting advice.

Typically, there is a lot on information in these manuals, but it is in your best interest to take your time and read it, then keep it close for when you need it again.

Every car is different and, regardless the similarities with other cars, it is not recommended to press all the buttons and flip switches to see what happens. Accidentally, you may do something regrettable.

If you are not sure about some functions, check your manual.

The owner’s manual is typically divided on sections.

First, you will learn to initially set up your car and use specific systems for accessing the car, advice on driving the vehicle, your comfort and other technical characteristics. Then, you will learn how to decipher warning lights, check the car’s fluids and how to troubleshoot different problems, such as changing a flat tire, achieving ideal tire pressure, or opening an electric window.  This is also what is instructed when you attend Colorado Springs Driving Schools as a teen.

There is also a section dedicated to cleaning and protecting the car’s surfaces and, in the end, there is information on warranty covers.
