> now many people need to consult the manual to figure out how to pop their hood.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but auto manuals haven't included such technical information for close to two decades.

Just checked my 2024 Toyota Rav4 manual, I can confirm it is there.

Page 393.

It's in a section called "do-it-yourself maintenance" that's pretty much entirely just topping off fluids. It doesn't even include instructions for replacing the battery.

Are you sure on your timing?

Just asking coz whenever I try to talk about what computers could already do or when something was invented in the 1960s or 1970s I tend to start with "well 40 years ago..." and then I look at the calendar and notice that it's 2025 and I'm officially old now and 40 years ago was more like 60 years ago.

And my car in 2005 definitely had no such thing and it wasn't a 2005 model.
