Does anyone know if MB is still giving out paper manuals with new vehicles?

Thanks

When I got my CLA they gave me the actual manual in a leather case, that was 2014 though, the new car won't come until the Spring but I don't see why they wouldn't still have them.

The manuals are readily available online though, and MB has a phone app that contains the manuals for all of their current vehicles.

Same here. The rationale is that you have the manual in the system and it frees up glove box space. The print is too small for me anyways so I just downloaded mine and read on my computer.

Agreed. The PDF version is also easier to do find and search on, and weighs a lot less.

My paper manual is in the trunk. The COMAND manual works fine if not a little slow. I usually use the PDF on my phone.
