I got a service book and handbook in October 2021 ,but read on earlier threads on here that they are no longer issued.I didnt realise this also includes the handbook. To be fair the handbook is bulky,and inconvenient to keep in the car. The online version is better, and more comprehensive. It can be udated, and doesnt involve chopping down trees. And you can download it to your phone so you dont need mobile data. (I even have one from a previous car downloaded as a pdf onto my kindle!.)
All those reading this have access to the internet. A few ,mostly older, people may still be totally avoiding anything to do with the internet, smartphones etc. To those I say
-ha ha you cant hear me
They will probably really struggle trying to work the cars touch screens, computer technology etc anyway (and not just them
)
I think the handbook has a part number, so the dealer may be able to provide one if absolutely necessary, although it may be chargeable and quite expensive. For those without a smartphone it might be cheaper to buy a cheap one and if necessary download the manual using free wifi. And add it to your learning curve.
