I have read my manual cover to cover once - can't say it did too much good. Just this week (yesterday in fact) I finally learned how to check the oil using the trick with the instrument panel button and ignition key. I had read it in the manual, but somehow didn't remember it being something that you could do anytime you wanted to - I thought the indication only came up when the computer wanted to notify you.
Give yourself time! I have found all the little secrets to be a fun way to "rediscover" my car on an ongoing basis.
If all else fails, just do a search here for what you are looking for - if that doesn't work, just ask.
(Real sorry you had to settle for a White one - life sucks sometimes, doesn't it?

WOW! It would be nice if I new the oil trick with the key. Is there a place to get all this cool info? Like a list of this tricky things. Ron
