I have bought many cars over the years and like many folk never really read the owners manual.

Guess I'm used to Apple Macintosh computers which have always been plug and play for me. Never got in the habit of reading owners manuals!!!

This weekend I read the VX owners manual front to back and discovered simple things "I" didnt know or discover on my own. I'm sure all you vetran owners know these, but for the new owner like myself I wish to mention a few and encourage you to read the manual!!!

I didn't know that to the right side of the rear liscense plate mounting area is a recess into the plastic which is meant to be a handle to pull open the back door once you unlock it with the key! Simple, but I never discovered this.

Also learned that the dome light can be operated on its own by pushing its lense upwards....I just assumed no switched meant that it only went on when the doors were opened!!

Did you know that if you ever got a flat (stock) tire, after replacing it with the space save in the door, there is an ingenious way to secure the flat tire in the back of the VX!!! Yep...its in the manual!!!

How about the fact that the rear window defogger/deicer is on a 30 min timer incase you forget to turn it off, but the side mirror defogger/deicer will not and you need to rememebr to turn it off!! Of course when you turn off the VX you cancel all these systems.

Then there is the power and winter buttons...read the manual!!

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzz.........HEY...You sleeping yet??

anyway I hope I didnt bore you vetrans and maybe helped a noobie or two like myself!!!
Cheers,
Dave
