Of course it's significantly smarter to study the manual when you buy the car. However, if we're talking about needing a quick reference to a given topic X time down the road because you don't have a 100% perfect memory, then it's a different story.

What I found with the owners manual for this car (and I'm sure ALL new cars) is how many pages of WARNINGS!!! there are for every section.
It's like "What is the air pressure?" Warning, unscrewing tire valve cap may cause air to escape and cap to hit you in the eye. Warning, tire may deflate if you unscrew the valve cap. Warning, unscrewing valve cap may cause valve stem to rotate in wheel and deflate tire. There is SO much legal mumbo jumbo that a 72 page manual has now grown to 2 manuals and over 400 pages............ It's just nuts.......... |

What's the latest version of the PDF manual that covers '12 onward?
The version of the scooby repair manual I got back then was all there if you scroll through the whole thing and hopefully manage to land in the part of it you want. There is no table of contents. At the front or at the back. There are no internal links anywhere in the document.

Yea exactly, I had been on this two year or so before I had actually purchased the vehicle, and in that time I had read the manual enough that I knew where, how and what everything did.

After I bought the car I took the manual home and read it and did a little research online. Ended up here which lead me a bit astray until I actually drove the car a bit. After joining the forum I thought it "needed" more power and the dip would be crippling but found that wasn't my reality.
