wow - this is JG's manna from heaven!  e.g. classics such as: how to use a manual seat; how to open and close the fuel filler cap; how to use the key fob....

check out all the disclaimers and additional caveats after each vid!  only in america...

actually these are quite funny vids  :grin:

no need to panic if you don't recognise your car parts though, I presume that these are US spec cars

In the explanation about the wipers there is a 'did you know section' to the left that states that the wipers never rest on the same edge twice in succession to prolong the wiper life.

The explains the little twitch they give when you switch the car off even if it hasn't been raining, I've been wondering what that was about!  Damn cunning those Germans...

I am a bit suprised that in the cruise control section they have'nt added the disclaimer the Americans have on thier camper vans where it states that. "When cruise is engaged, remain in seat and steer car as normal"

Don't laugh this did happen. This guy engadged the cruise then nipped into the back of his camper van to make a coffee. Of course the inevitable happened and he crashed. He then sued the manufacturer claiming that no where in the manual did it say that when cruise was engadged he must remain at the wheel.

Guess what? he won and got a six figure pay out, plus the camper van manufacturer had to ammend all their driver manuals.

Only in the USA.   :rolleyes:
