What is an "owner's manual"?

James Bell (Publisher, Auto Reviewer) gives expert video advice on: How do I break in my new car?; What should I do to maintain my car? and more...

The owner's manual is that thick book in your glove box which you probably never read. Shame on you! The owner's manual is the book that provides full information on all the different components of the vehicle: the correct way to drive it, the correct thing to do to maintain it the best. All the different parts of your relationship with the vehicle are covered there. There may be buttons or functions that you don't even know are part of the vehicle until you read the owner's manual. It's important you do that especially when the vehicle is new so that you get the most out of it over time. Most importantly, the owner's manual provides all the details or guidelines for the breaking in period. This is something that is very important when it comes to the durability, reliability and fuel efficiency of the vehicle going forward.
