I am wondering if I am the only one that makes up index cards on how to use the navigation, phone,adddress input etc. Once someone shows me how to use a device on the car I write it down then transfer onto Big index cards. A lot easier that using the instructions book and faster. At my age I forget how to use things fairly easily. This way I just look up how to do it on the index card. I had the car over a year before I found out that the speedometer was digital. I was using it the other way. Oh well in about 10 years I will finally learn how to use everything on the car but then I will need a new one.

I don't use cards but I do find that writing something down helps me remember. When I got my car, I sat with the manual and tried each feature about once or twice so I could remember while driving if needed. Of course I still forget things. I keep the manual on my phone and can seach the pdf for terms if needed. Of course that's not as quick as pulling out an index card.

I like to keep the navigation movement in the upward position, Every once in a while I do something and it is not there anymore. I now just take out the card and I know exactly what to do. Of couse if I have the Grandson in the car he does it without the card. He also fixes my cell phone and computer in the house for me. Free Tech help, glad he lives with us.

Each time I get a new vehicle I go through the manuals and make notes on 8 1/2 x11sheet of paper. Same principal as index cards.
Make lots of notes in margins on how I actually do some of the things, steps, shorcuts, etc.
I also use computer to type up and print out my own version of index to reference the appropriate manuals.

Makes it a lot easier when you need the reference

Different generations seem to be more amenable to quickly learning and adapting to new tech...

No writing of any kind here. As mentioned before I usually remember and if not I can still figure things out on the fly. Of course having all major 3 german brands at same time does not help as each car is totally different

I read what I need to learn, then try and repeat doing it as often as I need to until it becomes committed to memory. And here's what ends up happening: some of the features I "thought" I needed to really learn fall by the wayside since I don't really use them often enough to merit remembering.


So in the end, it works out nicely: I end up remembering only what I really end up using.
