I'll preface this by saying that I did a search to see if this had already been discussed and I came up empty, so if I somehow missed it, I apologize.

Where are you guys/girls keeping the serious stack of literature that comes with this thing?!

Everything (manual, quick reference manual, eyesight manual, navigation manual, quick reference nav manual, Bluetooth manual, maintenance/warranty book, warranty book update, tire information, etc.) fits in the black faux-leather folder, but it makes for a rather heavy brick that seems like a lot of weight for the glove box.

Do you keep it all in the vehicle (glove box?) or somewhere else?


PS If this is the biggest problem I have with this vehicle, it's going to be great!

I keep mine in the glovebox along with an ice scraper.

Josh, do you keep it ALL in the glovebox?

I guess the only reason I sound overly concerned is that my last vehicle had a similar amount of manual/books and it ended up loosening the glovebox, creating an annoying rattle.

I also keep the whole thing in my glove box. Other things include a flashlight, tire pressure gauge, pen, and a Swiss Army knife, all of which I keep inside a pair of gloves to keep from rattling.

I keep the books in my desk. I downloaded the PDF files onto my iPad and phone.

Yeah, I keep it all in the glovebox. I have no worries that it will hold up.

If there is a problem, that is what the warranty is for.

Mine's in my glove box. If Subaru would post them as PDF's, instead of using the stupid interface that forces you to go back to their web site to read them all the time, I'd put them on my iPad and smart phone (which goes where I go) and leave the books at home.

Like another forum member, I have the .pdfs on my iPad. I also have them on my iMac. The hard copies of everything are in the folder and it's in one of the rear cubbies.

What I keep in the GB is a thin folder with the registration, insurance card and a photocopy of the title.

I keep mine in the tray that is under the cargo floor on top of the spare. It is still handy when needed, but frees up loads of space in the glove box.

All mine are in the glove box. Along with multi tool, tire pressure meter, sure fire light, sharpie, ball point pen, disposable camera, a stick of gum, and some cotton balls. McGyvers standard tool kit.

Where did you get the .pdfs? I've been searching everywhere...

Here is a combined pdf somebody else put together.

It wouldn't work for me, probably cuz I'm in Canada. Tried the subaru.ca web site again and found a way to download it from there. Thanks... I wouldn't have thought to try again except for your pointer. The download option was hidden in the oddest place. I've got all three now.

 

[Majorlk]

Glad to have been of assistance and that you found the downloads.

Like "The Sage" I keep mine under the cargo floor on top of the spare. This is one thick brick of an owners manual. I bet the manual to fly the space shuttle is thinner.

Love this idea. That's where I'll be putting my info brick!
