These days you can get access to online owner manuals for a $40 blender, but try to get access to your owners manual online for a $15,000 car. Good Luck.

I just spent an hour on the phone with Saturn. To get access to the owners manual, you need to enter the 17 VIN number for your vehicle and the name must match.

Since the vehicle, was bought second hand, I had to phone customer service, and it will take 2 weeks to update the database, so I can get access to the site.

Now im very happy with Saturn, but I am totally shocked that I can't get access to an online owners manual for my car.

For some care companies, its still like its 1999 when it comes to trying to access the user manual.

ok, try this:

1. Insert key into slot and turn to III, then back to II to start the vehicle.

2. There are 2 or 3 pedals. The right one is 'go'. The one next to it is stop.

3. The large wheel is used for changing the direction of the vehicle.

4. In the centre there is a protruding stick, which is either numbered: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R, or 2, D, N, R, P.
For the former, you should have 3 pedals (see 1). Press the left pedal then move the stick to select a number. Use in sequence to make the car go faster. Please abide by local speed limit.
For the latter, simply press the button on the stick and select D.

5. Your current speed, engine temperature and other useful information can be viewed at any time on the instrument panel located behind the large wheel.

We hope you enjoy your new vehicle.

Dabrowski:
can you add instructions for changing the clock?

i have a car that came a with a small novel just to describe the operation of the nav & stereo unit.
the clock instructions are in the other (bigger) manual...

That's simple:

1. Disconnect battery.
2. Wait until midnight.
3. Reconnect battery.

This works for most brands of clock.
