Default Do you read the manual on a new car?

Just bought a new 07 GT/CS. I used to have an 06' F150 and there was a setting on the lights that automatically turned on at night but I dont seem to have that on my GT. I'm sure that if I do it would be in the owners manual. But I haven't cracked the thing yet and probably wont. Do you read your manual?

I'm such a geek I'll read a manual (any manual) in bed. Or on the can. I have a new GT/CS, too, and need the manual to explain how to get a lovely combination of fuscia and lime green backlighting for the guages at night.

And Capt. America, I do not believe the Mustang has that automatic lights-on option that my wife's Explorer has. Personally, that's OK by me; if I cannot remember to switch the lights on when it's dark, I've no business to be driving a performance car!

I'm not worried about turning them on so much as I 'm worried about turning them off! Sometimes I'm such a (doofus)
