Understanding Owner's Manuals

What Is an Owner's Manual?

Vintage owner's manuals

An owner's manual is the official guide supplied by the manufacturer for a specific vehicle. It explains vehicle operation, safety systems, controls, maintenance requirements, recommended fluids, capacities, specifications, warranty information, and operating procedures.

Unlike factory service manuals, which are written primarily for technicians and repair professionals, owner's manuals are designed for vehicle owners and drivers.
