My car is still 9 months away, but I've been reading an owners manual to get familiar with the knobs, dials, controls, bells and whistles, etc.

I'm certainly no rocket scientist, so I'm concerned that I may be in way over my head regarding all the techno stuff that the manual describes. Some of the features can only be operated when the car is moving. To me that is scary. Am I going to have to learn this stuff as I'm zooming down the freeway at flank speed? Is there some sort of Link Trainer that I could practice on?

I've never been a fan of navigation gizmos, i Drive, in car telephones, and the like, so some of this is frightning to me. I'm about throw up my hands. I've read 155 of 308 pages of the OM and I'll still haven't read the voluminous PCM manual.

Is it possible to just get in and drive it like a normal car?



There are only about 7 instructions that are important

1.) Press Key FOB to open doors
2.) Put key in ignition on left of wheel
3.) Engage Clutch
4.) Start engine
5.) Put in first
6.) Disengage clutch
7.) Put gas pedal to floor

Everything else is optional
