I would love to read about the procedure outlined in the owner's manual! Most cars that I have come across generally have a procedure with pictorials on how to do basic routine maintenance including replacing (some) light bulbs.
It could be worse. Do you know what is involved in replacing drive belts in a VW Passat? Entire front of the car needs to be taken off. A/C needs to be evacuated. 6 hours of labor.
