Since the manuals didn't come in a nice binder, it makes it much easier to read them from cover to cover.

Really, try it, you might find them enlightening.

VIN # B0985

 

I was given a 3 finger zip lock baggie of weed.


Stems and seeds though.....Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

I've had minimal experience with weed. Do stems and seeds diminish the pleasant effect 8^)))))))

 

Mine came with something to keep them together in the glove compartment, with the bonus that the bag has a zipper seal, and it's transparent, so you can see what's inside.

 

I would rather have had an assist handle above the three passenger doors than a binder to keep my car manuals nice and neat. I can use a ziplock for the manuals. What do I do about the missing handles???

 

I ordered the Highland Glovebox organizer from Amazon, and it works nicely to hold the manuals and other items.

Another site has it a bit cheaper, and with better pictures to see what you are getting:

no, just a newsprint, thin paper manual and the infotainment book and the EVSE book.. this is the "way of the world" now, our last Toyota (2011) did not have any binder either. though our 98 ford had a useful protective zippered vinyl cover set for the books- go figure... they really expect that most new car buyers throw the manual out or never open it anyway and that anyone who wants to look at it will read it online on their phone. printed publications are on their way out- sadly perhaps, but true...

 

Since the index in the manual is usually pretty poor, I prefer the pdf version anyway. Much easier to find what you are looking for.

 

The dealer provided a cheap vinyl 3-fold cover / binder but I want to replace it with something nicer, I'd have preferred the Ziplock. My Jeep has the best manual case I've ever had. It's canvas with a velcro strap to keep it shut. The Highland one that erewhon linked to above looks ok. I'll have to see what i can pick up locally first though.

 

I just re-read your question- The answer is "yes, we all should have received some sort of better owners manual packaging and presentation".. But Chevy chose not to...

 

I hear that the clear ziplock bag will be available for $75 on the GM parts site soon for the Volt. It's really a good price because it is $150 for the ELR.

 

Quart size ziploc bag will do the trick...stick it in the passenger door...

Pete has it right...use the PDF online version...easier to find answers...

The Volt clear plastic manual holder is dual purpose. When you park at the airport you can take the manuals out and put you 3 oz liquids in it for travel on the flight. Very creative thinking by GM.

 

I got two charge cord user's guides, each with their own ziploc; one was in the larger ziploc with the other manuals, and the other was attached to the charge cord itself. Would have preferred two cords and one manual. Oh well, luck of the draw...

 

Yep. This is how I received mine. No weed though. LOL.
