C-MAXER Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have yet to use the paper Owners Manual in the glovebox. Instead, I read the online PDF version which is searchable, bigger print, and nearly always at my fingertips (smartphone, ipad, etc) instead of locked away in the car when I have a question. The paperback manual also has very thin pages that are hard to turn. Go to this link, find the OM among the selections, left click to view it or right-click to download and save (suggested): http://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/OwnerGuidePage&year=2013&make=Ford&model=C-MAX%20Hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the manual for my husband's 2004 T-Bird in PDF format on my computers. Someone on television suggested that there was no need to keep the paper manual in the car but I have a hard time giving up old habits. :finger: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roninsd Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I keep my manual in my glove compartment, just in case, but do most of my "research" in the online manual. Easier to search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinytop Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I have been downloading manuals for a while on my computer. I created a folder on my desktop called Manuals and I have copies of many manuals there. But this is a great suggestion, have not been using my phone for that. Thanks.

JohnnOhio Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I found this February 2013 just after I ordered my car. I downloaded it and read all of it by the time my car was delivered. Along with having the pdf of the owners manual and joining this site I knew more about the car than the saleman. salsaguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
