People have died in their Corvettes not realizing they could simply remove the targa top AND that there is an emergency door release handle located right next to both seats. If only there were something, maybe made of paper, in the glove box that explained all the features of the vehicle…
The Corvette I could understand. I had a 14' Stingray. People didn't know the button on the handle was to open the door and I would tell people about the emergency release latches. It was just about every "new" person.
Here is a write-up on how to install a release handle. There are other threads on this too. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/tailgate-release-handle.7650/post-185010
As the owner of the vehicle, one should know how to operate all facets of the vehicle. This is why before my kids were permitted to drive they had to have read the owner’s manual, show me how to operate all the functions and features of the vehicle, how to check the fluids, how to change a tire, change the battery, etc. My younger two will have to do the same for all our vehicles. I’ve already downloaded the owner’s manual for our ‘22 Wrangler that hasn’t been built yet so I’m familiar with its operation & features before I drive it. There honestly is no excuse for not understanding how your vehicle operates.
