I have always read my owners manuals front to back. Until our 2018 Mazda3 and Odyssey. And now, with our CX-70, which is probably the worst. To meet government safety requirements, there are several pages of serious injury or death warnings for what seems like every feature. Getting to the functionality of the feature requires patience and persistence!

 

Please don't confuse or what misunderstanding about the cautions and warnings in the owner's manual. They are in all platforms that are sold in the USA required by FEDERAL standard on not only automobiles and have been there since the 1970's just such things as daily kitchen appliances and even children's toys!
The mention of "lawyer" responding in generalities most that have never actually had to hire or have an attorney appointed to them often toss the wording the includes the exact word "lawyer" with really not having all the facts (empirical not a simple article) and information.

The accurate part last responses are and I quoted " "Getting to the functionality of the feature requires patience and persistence!" unquote.

When people buy a new vehcle I totally support and often comment to first completely read the owner's manual and learn to drive their new vehcle in a safe area and road. My guess is most all new vehcle if asking the new owner simple questions about their vehcle have no clue what the answer is? While I can't give examples of how many on any forum because most will if asked and don't know the answer "cheat" and run to the internet for the answer to any question asked. In the real world and almost daily when people come into the service shop, most all can't answer simple questions about their vehcle so I know at least 40+ years of asking questions and getting the IDK reply. LOL

 

Fair enough. Edited.
