Anybody come across anything interesting reading your owner's manual?
At this point, my 2008 F250 Super Duty is an oldster, but Yes, reading the owner's manual is interesting.
I found out how to stop all the lights from coming on whenever you unlock the doors... sounds like a nice convenience thing, but at at campground if you go out to the truck to get something at 11pm suddenly you light everyone up!
On my 1988 F150, I found the emergency fuel pump shut off - the truck was jostled or something at a jobsite and wouldn't start. For some reason I remembered actually reading the owner's manual and remembered something about a fuel shutoff in case of an impact - found it under the dash. My employees thought I was crazy until the I got the truck started.
These instances were on older trucks... the newest ones have so much on them that is impressive.
I think most people would be amazed if they actually read the owner's manual for the their vehicle.
