Back in the day, the owners manuals were written by the manufacturers while today's are written by some government bureaucrat.

Or eat Tide Pods or, for crap-sake, need a warning label that coffee may be hot. We've dumbed down the population to idiot levels. What's next; labels on new cars saying that if you don't use the brakes, you might run into something? ARRRGGGHHHH! I need a Valium. Oh wait, can't get them too easily. Where's my genius-grade martoonie??

Great point John - maybe. Not sure I'd feel comfortable in one - at least at first.
Plenty potential in this one:

Tony, I agree there is plenty of potential in the this car. To my eyes it's one of the most attractive sedans I've seen in a couple of decades. Love it inside and out!

All of these modern warnings, although they seem to be instructions for idiots, reflect the often ridiculously high lawsuit settlements launched by opportunists and their smarmy lawyers. Then there's the judges who make such decisions.........

@perrone1 Good call on the martony Tony....but be careful you don't puncture your eyeball with that spear! There really should be a product warning; "caution: Risk of eyeball puncture increases with amount consumed". Such an obvious hazard!

Gracious sakes alive (as the Southern Belles around here are fond of saying) You're so right. If I add those olives then place the accoutrements upside down, I could be in for a world of hurt.
I'm going to engrave a warning label in all of my 'tini glassware to beware of such happenings. And when drinking them, I'll wear my seatbelt, helmet and use my roll bar!! Although I never drink more than one gin/vermouth libation so, maybe I'll be safe???

60 pages vs 504! Close to half of the Ram Owner's manual is cautions and warnings. Chevrolet has two cautions, Never run the car in a closed garage and don't open the radiator cap when hot. I guess manufacturers relied on owner's common sense back then, and now they rely on lawyers to minimize lawsuits.
Things were simpler then.
