Where is the owners manual stored. .I just picked up a 2012 model and thought it would be in the glove box but it isn't .is it missing or stored somewhere less obvious?

It should be in the glove box. I have a 2011 model and it was there together with the service book and all in a black holder.

See the pinned thread at the top of the forum.
