GLOVE BOX OWNERS MANUAL

[Fastcar]

I figured that for around $50.00 I'd buy the print version and save myself a bunch of aggravation.

I downloaded the manual for our 2019 Expy Limited. It's much easier to search for keywords on my computer or my Kindle. It's a free download. We do have a printed copy in the glove box. There's a little shelf that's just the perfect size for the printed copy. Although we have one, I seldom look at the paper copy.

We purchased a new 2024 expedition MAX - Does FORD not include a glovebox manual any more. Dealer said "OH they dont come with the car now its on the screen. You can buy one for 85.00 though".-- Yeah i know that BUT what do you do if their is a problem with the car and the screen goes out and I paid 70,000.00 fgor a car.

I downloaded the manual to my laptop but it is also on the Ford Pass App. Most people never looked at the manual except me. I always read it from cover to cover.

I just use my OBDLink dongle that’s always in my car and the free software on my IPhone. I also use it with ForScan and a laptop. Given the OBDLink MX plus is getting pricey now (I ve got it for like 4 or 5 years now), I wonder if there are good alternatives that read and write faster that it does?

I tried an Autel tablet scanner on my 24 yesterday with up to date firmware. I could diagnose 100%, but I could not adjust or relearn anything much besides the front radar unit. I guess I need the CanFD adapter.

I used to read all manuals "cover to cover" but now as complex as some things are (like my Expy) I've found I don't get full value for the time spent. Would really need to be in the vehicle and looking for every guage/button/switch/angle to know what the heck the manual is referring to. Would take forever.

My biggest problem with these new and complex vehicles is that I don't drive them nearly enough to get familiar with things vs. say someone who drives every day to work. I've driven my Expy less than a half-dozen times since getting it late December.

Here it's a 20 minute drive for most anything except the ocean. I like the book as it works should the truck stops running. Or some sort of electrical failure. Also if on a trip the passenger has ready access to info.
