Good to know but yes, periods between sentences would have helped with the reading of the post.

The screen won't come down if you are in reverse. The screen will come down with the car off or on, makes no difference other than in reverse.

Owners manual comments. I MAY read it, most likely not. Might be lazy, or it might be my personality. Hands on training is the way I learn, others as well. Theoretical reading bores me. Take it as you may.

This is called an apostrophe=============> '

Its job is to replace a letter or letters: i.e., "it is" = "it's."
