The escalating number of changes brought about by the advanced technology into car design, have compelled the drivers to refer to manufacturers’ handbooks every now and then.  A survey of over 2,030 drivers conducted by Peugeot’s ‘Torque Talk’ online panel, reveals that 90% of them used handbooks in order to get acquainted with new technology, while 80% acknowledged that they used owner’s manual to find specific details about various features of their vehicle. Only 7% stated that they would seek information from the dealer, while 8% said they would search it online.

83 % of thousands of respondents expect car manufacturers to continue providing hard copy of handbook due to convenience in referring and do not support transferring it online.  The most interesting revelation of Peugeots’ survey, according to Andy Bye, Director of Quality was that many customers could know and use most of car features only after reading the handbook. He added that this fact highlights importance of handbook for today’s sophisticated vehicles. He termed Peugeot’s survey as an eye opener and assured looking at ways in improving contents of handbook.

Many customers commented that they referred a handbook to refresh the working of seldom used features or to get best out of their cara. Many commented they needed a handbook when in the car, hence did not prefer transferring it online.
