New Owner's manuals!

The old 4-pound manuals are on their way out! It's a pain just carrying around a manual to get info on how to change the time on the radio. You have to look in the index and then put your finger there to look up all the pages where it talks about "CLOCK" and read the small print and then follow the directions all while holding the huge manual that could be used for weight lifting.

Starting with the 2010 models, all Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles will come with new leaner and greener manuals. Replacing the old manuals (around 500 pages) will be a shorter, concise manual (about 68-80 pages) with the main, big topics covered....I'm sure the basics of operation...and a searchable DVD. And, I'm sure for those without a computer with the DVD feature, we will be able to print out the sections for those who want a "hard" copy. So, I applaud this move. Not to mention that this is supposed to save 20,000 trees a year or about 930 tons of paper! And money for Chrysler. It's a win-win all around.


Also, if you 100% desire to have the old-school manual, you can request one and Chrysler will send you one in the mail. Good solution, Chrysler. I bet other manufacturers will be following suit in some form. I'm impressed.
