Yes - cover to cover - sad maybe but at least I know what it can do.

Default Re: "Read" maybe too strong, but did "thoroughly skim" it and read sections of interest.
Skipped the sections on how to wear a seatbelt, etc, drive select, active cruise control, etc.

Default I flipped through it to learn about the initial adjustments but I don't read it cover to cover.
Some of the pages contain basic instructions such as, "How to use your seatbelts." I don't read those things.

Besides, it's much more entertaining to simply post it here and let you guys answer the questions. Plus, you all know that you enjoy replying even if to say, "read the manual!"

Me too on this one. Go through page by page, but skim the n00b stuff.

I skim through it at first, and look up stuff from it when I can't figure something out.
