Few car owners read the manual, and most people don’t know how to troubleshoot.
- asveikau 8y agoProbably doesn't help much when the manual is in the glove box of a locked car.
- mikeash 8y agoIdeally one would read it beforehand and memorize the important emergency stuff, like what to do when your key fob doesn’t work.
- asveikau 8y agoIdeally. But it is a funny image. And there is something to be said for not being that guy who says "should have read the manual!" when another human being, however flawed, gets stuck in a situation they don't know their way out of.
- mikeash 8y agoAbsolutely. I’m mostly pointing out that people don’t do this. It seems like it would be worthwhile for the industry to come up with a standard symbol for “hold your key fob here to make it work when the battery is dead” and print it on the appropriate spot on the car.
