We think were the smartest generation. But 50 years ago, car manuals explained how to adjust valves. Now they explain why you shouldn't drink the contents of the battery.
@artyr3 They go into detail on how to put on your seatbelt too lol.

@GreetingsFrom617Patroclus oh yes. we mustn't forget the seatbelt instructions. or the necessity of using wipers when its raining.

to be fair, drivers no longer have to regrind the valves and decoke the engine every few thousand km - it does vary between manufacturers; a manual for a Suzuki Swift I had as a courtesy car mentioned a lot more "old style" maintenance procedures.
But a lot of things are what you /should/ normally get taught in driving school (as least you do over here, whether people remember them is another matter..)
