PDF version? On the smart phone when you need it.
For those of us in the over 50 crowd, the benefit of the electronic copy is I can set the font to account for my arms now being too short to read most things.

I leave mine home, I know what I need to, and can look up what I want when home.
I keep mine in the car at all times. I think that's where it belongs.

Not the case in my car. If the switch is on the heaters are on. Forever.

PDF manual would be great. Any idea where I could get one? I'll ask at the dealer next time I'm in for service, but I'm betting they will want money for it.

That's awesome, but says it's for iPad only. Guess I'll be sticking with the book for the time being.

I'm getting familiar enough with the vehicle now that I think I'll move the full manual to the house, and only keep breakdown stuff in the small glovebox.
Annoyingly, the manual lacks many things, like specs for fluids, DIY info, etc. Install new headlight bulbs? "We recommend that you take it to your authorized VW service center"

They are still that way? I'd be peeved. My '04 was like that, and people did take out heaters from that--they'd turn on the mirror heater and forget about them.
Have to say, I did enjoy the seat heaters though. Mine were on from Oct to April or May, at a low heat most of the time, and only high when I first got in. Actually, a few times they felt really good on after a hike, that extra heat on a tired back...
