Does anybody read the manual?

I've read quite a bit of it but I don't always understand it!! (I think some things have been lost in translation.) The nav manual is particularly hard to read.

I'm old fashioned. I read the manuals for everything. I agree, the nav manual is particularly hard to read. It seemed like one page referred you to another that referred you to another. It was difficult to get a sense of the system. I sat in the car with the manual and worked my way through parts of it. It isn't that difficult, but the manual didn't make it easy.

I read mind the first night cover to cover. Since then come to this site daily to learn and find out all I can about tricks of trade regarding this fine machine.

I have read all 1,100+ pages of the owner's manual, the navigation manual, and all of the other manuals that came with the car. The only other car I have ever done this with was my 2005 Prius. And I do not remember the manual being that thick....

Some of us found it lacking and contributed to an owner version instead: User-Guide (Iconic)
