How does it know?
 

If the maintenance minder on my new Civic coupe will tell me when it's
time to rotate my tires, how does it know i did so it'll stop nagging
me? Same question for oil changes and anything else it reminds me to
do.

If the owner's manual on your new Civic coupe were to plop itself into
your lap, how would you know to open it and read it?
