There are a lot of pictures that help you recognize your situation while you're flipping through.
A screenwriting friend of mine and I once wrote a car chase scene where the protagonists used the book during a getaway.
"Ok, it says slowly pump the brakes."
"I'm pumping! I'm pumping!"
"We're not slowing down!"
"What's the next step?"
"Huh? Look out!!"
(car swerves)
"The book! The book! What does it say next?"
"Oh, yeah... Uh, pumping. Did you use light force?"
Glare.
"Um. Ok, ok. If the pumping doesn't work, then try the parking...Oh yeah, a good idea. Use the hand brake!"
The OnStar system of the car also had some running commentary during the chase scene. We figured that Joe Pantoliano would be a good person in that car.
This was part of our larger movie that basically took every movie cliche and had fun with it. The death scene was beautiful.
