IDENTIFYING APPROPRIATE MANUALS

Learning Objectives:

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:

1. Identify appropriate manuals

INTRODUCTION

Owning a car cultivates so many responsibilities for the owner. She/he has
to look after its repair, cleaning and maintenance. To execute various
tasks for a car, you always need a manual. A new car will be accompanied
with a manual that will help you understand about its features and
maintenance.

I. TYPES OF CAR MANUALS

Factory service manuals (FSM)

FSM are the manuals provided by manufacturers which cover the

servicing, maintenance and repair of their products. They were not
originally offered to the public as they were developed for the dealerships
so that their mechanics were able to fix their own products.

Workshop manuals

Workshop manuals provide repair and service procedures for many

vehicles including maintenance of automotive, cars, motorbikes, trucks,
marines and ATV vehicles, but not limited to these.

a. REPAIR MANUALS

 Provide all the information required to repair and maintain the

vehicle to a high standard, whether it is changing the air filter,

Manuals
 checking tyre pressures, to more in-depth jobs such as an
engine overhaul, to changing the timing belt and head gasket.

b. SERVICE MANUALS

 Covers all aspects of the vehicle, from servicing schedules to

maintenance such as changing the oil at 10,000 miles with oil
grade 5W40 or checking tire pressures at 5000-mile intervals
and inflate to 35psi.

Whether it is a service manual or repair manual having them in an

electronic format (DVD or an Instant Download) is a huge advantage over
having a book since there is no getting oil or dirty hands on them.

II. OWNER’S AND DRIVER’S MANUAL

All new cars come with an owner's manual from the manufacturer. Most
owners leave them in the glove compartment for easy reference.
Understanding control operations of an unfamiliar car is one of the first
steps recommended in defensive driving.

Owner's manuals usually cover three main areas:

 a description of the location and operation of all controls

 a schedule and descriptions of maintenance required, both by
the owner and by a mechanic
 specifications such as oil and fuel capacity and part numbers
of light bulbs used

Current car owner's manuals have become much bigger in part due to
many safety warnings most likely designed to avoid product liability
lawsuits, as well as from more complicated audio and navigational
systems, which often have their own manual. If owners lose their car
manual, they can either order a replacement from a dealer, pick up a used
one secondhand, or download a PDF version of the manual online.

 IDENTIFYING APPROPRIATE MANUALS

Learning Objectives:

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:

1. Identify motor vehicle symbols used in the owner’s manual

THE MEANINGS BEHIND MOTOR VEHICLE SYMBOLS ON THE CAR'S

DASHBOARD

When something goes wrong with your car or if a feature you should know
about gets activated, a signal funnels through the electrical system and
into the dashboard. This illuminates a hieroglyphic, and these cover a
wide range of issues—some of which may be serious.

Each vehicle dashboard may be different, and the symbols may have
altered designs or indicate slightly different things, so be sure to consult
the owner’s manual. Some of these lights could portend a serious
malfunction. Don't ignore them. When in doubt, have a professional check
it out.

VEHICLE OWNER’S AND DRIVER’S MANUAL

According to www.autosimple.com, the vehicle owner’s and driver’s
manual is an instructional booklet that is specific to a vehicle. It includes
important information to make you a better driver and car owner,
including maintenance and troubleshooting advice.

CONTENTS OF THE CAR OWNER’S AND DRIVER’S MANUAL

Setup Instructions
While some cars still don’t require any setup, many newer models have
technological features that require some user input. These include
bluetooth, keyless entry, and voice recognition. The owner’s manual can
make this process easy. In order to take full advantage of the vehicle’s
available options, learn all of the setup instructions before driving the new
car.

Device Instructions
In addition to setup instructions, the manual contains instructions for how
to use all of the features and devices in the vehicle. Avoid the frustration
that comes with learning a new system by reading the owner’s manual
before starting to use anything in or around the car.

Don’t flip switches and press buttons before knowing what they do. If you
don’t know what a particular button or function in the vehicle does,
consult the owner’s manual first. This includes how to dim, brighten, or
modify the headlights. The vehicle may also have a “battery rundown”
feature that automatically shuts down lamps and lights to conserve
battery life.

Maintenance Schedule
Taking preventative care for the vehicle is money well spent. When you
catch problems early on, they are cheaper and easier to fix. The vehicle
will last longer, have higher resale value and better performance. In
addition to saving money on repairs, a well-maintained car is also more
efficient, saving you on fuel costs as well. Additionally, any warranty
claims normally request a complete service record. Look in the car’s
service manual to learn the proper maintenance schedule (oil changes, for
instance), how often you need to service the car, and the expected
lifespan for the car’s replaceable parts. Save money on unnecessary
maintenance and oil changes by following the recommendations in the
vehicle owner’s manual. For example, many people waste time and
money by following a dealership or mechanic’s advice on when to change
the oil, or other vehicle fluids. For the most accurate fluid change
schedule, always refer to your vehicle’s service manual.

HOW TO CHECK AND REFILL FLUIDS

If you want to know where the windshield wiper fluid, coolant, or motor oil
is located, save yourself time and trouble by checking the owner’s manual
first. It would also be wise to learn if it’s better to check the fluid while it’s
hot or cold.

Oil Change
Make sure you are filling up with the proper engine oil and gas by
consulting the owner’s manual. The “Engine Oil” section tells how to
check the oil level, what kind of oil and filter to use, and how long you can
go between oil changes.

Gas Grade
To know what kind of gasoline and the proper octane level the vehicle
should use, always refer to the owner’s manual. Premium or plus gasoline
isn’t automatically superior. Different types of engines are designed to run
on different types of gasoline. Use the gas grade (octane rating) that is
recommended in the “Fuel” section of the owner’s manual.

Seat Positions and Head Restraints

In order to provide the safest and most comfortable position in a car,
check the owner’s manual for how to adjust seat positions and head
restraints. Adjusting the head restraints to the proper height will help
cushion the head and spine in the case of an accident, reducing whiplash
injuries and increasing effectiveness.

How to Change Tires
The vehicle owner’s manual will also provide instructions on how to
remove tire and operate a car jack. Since every car is different, you want
to make sure you are lifting the car up at the proper location. Always
reference the owner’s manual for the correct location to place the car
jack.
Always consult the owner’s manual so you can make the ideal tire change.
You will learn how long you can drive on the spare and how inflated it
should be. While you are replacing the tire, don’t forget to check the
recommended tire pressure for the vehicle.

Ideal Tire Pressure

Instead of using the tire pressure on the sidewall of a tire, consult the
owner’s manual for the proper tire PSI. The PSI printed on the tire is
normally the maximum allowed pressure. Never inflate the tire over this
number. If you overinflate the tires, you risk overheating, a blowout, or
worse. Purchasing a digital tire gauge and checking the tire pressure
about once every month is recommended. Maintaining proper tire
pressure will enhance driver safety and fuel efficiency. ALWAYS check the
owner’s manual for the proper PSI level for the tires. You can also find the
appropriate tire pressure rating on the placard on the inside of the driver-
side door, glove box, or fuel door.

Warranty Information
Check the owner’s manual to see what service and parts are covered by
warranty. Additionally, you will discover all of the things that you should
not do that may void any existing warranties.

How to Clean the Vehicle’s Inside and Outside

The owner’s manual will tell you the best cleaning methods for the leather
or fabric upholstery and outdoor paint, mirrors, and accents.

Tips & Tricks

In addition to some specific driving tips for the vehicle’s model, you will
also discover valuable tips and tricks for extending the lifespan of your
vehicle, increasing gas mileage, and maximizing passenger safety. Learn
how to maneuver the new vehicle and follow the instructions no matter
how seasoned you are as a driver. In addition to tips for safe driving, little-
known features can be uncovered. For instance, some cars have the
ability to lower the windows a little bit on hot, summer days. Every model
is different. Get acquainted; learn the vehicle’s quirks and oddities.

Manuals
Until the last decade or two of the twentieth century it was common for an
owner's manual to include detailed repair information, such as a circuit
diagram; however as products became more complex this information
was gradually relegated to specialized service manuals, or dispensed with
entirely, as devices became too inexpensive to be economically repaired.
Owner's manuals for simpler devices are often multilingual so that the
same boxed product can be sold in many different markets. Sometimes
the same manual is shipped with a range of related products so the
manual will contain a number of sections that apply only to some
particular model in the product range.
With the increasing complexity of modern devices, many owner's manuals
have become so large that a separate quick start guide is provided. Some
owner's manuals for computer equipment are supplied on CD-ROM to cut
down on manufacturing costs, since the owner is assumed to have a
computer able to read the CD-ROM. Another trend is to supply
instructional video material with the product, such as a videotape or DVD,
along with the owner's manual. Many businesses offer PDF copies of
manuals that can be accessed or downloaded free of charge from their
websites.

cleaner, the more abrasive it may be, and the greater the risk that
cleaning will cause damage. Weigh the need for cleaning against the
stability of the book and what it’s made of; always test, especially when
colors or fabrics are involved.
The goal of cleaning old books ought not to be to wipe out all traces of
their past, but to guarantee their future. A good rule of thumb is this:
Surface dirt can always be safely removed, if it’s removed by the least-
abrasive means possible. And it should be removed. Depending on its
constituents, dirt can cause or promote potentially irreparable
deterioration in paper and other book parts.

Here are some of the cleaners considered indispensable.

 A soft cloth:
There’s nothing like a much-laundered tea towel or T-shirt cut up into
small cloths. The ideal fabric is lint-free (so it imparts nothing you need to
remove later) and light-colored (so you can see what you’re removing,
which can be useful as you rate the book’s condition and decide what
additional care it needs). If you prefer a commercial product, try one of
the electrostatic cloths, such as Swiffer (steer clear of any cloth with scent
or other added substances). The electrostatic cloths not only remove
surface accumulations but hold them; using these products make it easier
to control where the dirt goes when it leaves the book’s surface. The soft
cloth is the only surefire method of cleaning gold leaf. If a gentle wiping
with a soft cloth doesn’t do the trick, take your gold leaf to a professional.

 A small toothbrush:
Use this to ease dirt from such delicate areas as spines, edges, stamping
and embossing. Dedicate a new, soft toothbrush for the task–with the
softest bristles you can find. Keep your used toothbrushes, if you must, for
scrubbing grout. The toothbrush that touches books must bear no residue,
and we doubt that even repeated washing and meticulous drying renders
a used toothbrush clean.
 Art gum eraser:
The classic eradicator is soft and crumbly, an all-purpose necessity. It
works wonders on simple smudges and many more serious blemishes.
Always work in one direction only.
 Absorbent Dirt Eraser:
Resembling a small, dry sponge, this is useful on paper of virtually every
type and for countless clean-up tasks. Its size and pliability make it easy
to use.
 Document Cleaning Pad:
This porous cloth sack, which fits comfortably in the hand, contains a
pulverized eraser that can work small cleaning miracles. It’s long-lasting,
and, like the items above, so inexpensive that it’s no bargain to be
without one.
 Absorbent Book Cleaner:
More than dirt and debris respond to this soft and pliable putty. It also
removes from paper the residue of smoke and that awful filmy filth that
can make a book unpleasant to hold or an unsavory place to poke your
nose.
 Clean Cover Gel:
It revives old books, restoring the appearance and feel.
