Ok someone tell me the punch line to this joke, the owners manual w/case does not fit in >

the glove compartment! Is this a standard option or the delux model? ha! I recieved my manual and nice case, and read it cover to cover, then while puting it in its home (which I thought was the glove box, it does not fit!)
So I look for alternatives, such as in the boxster there is a manual holder under the steering wheel. No go with the MB.
Is there a place that is specific to the ML where I should stow my manual? Thanks.

lol. I keep mine under the rear passenger seat;-)


together with the emergency triangle and some basic tools[:)][;)]
I used to keep it to my comvinience package box under the front passenger seat, but since I took it out because I need that space for my DVD player, that manual goes to the back[:)]

No wonder every ML I looked at had no manual! The craziest thing ever!

Exactly, from my estimation there are thousands of orphaned manuals in garages everywhere!

I noticed that too....

To me this seems like an embarassing oversight on MB's part.

Since I don't have the convenience package (and hence no passenger lockbox), I put the owners manual in the passenger seat pocket (on the back of the chair).
