"You" in this context is actually used to refer to someone in general, and more specifically in this case, a car owner in general. Sometimes in English, it is common to use the pronoun "you" to refer to an unspecified person, or to people in general. Ex: Eating vegetables is healthy for you. Ex: You can't always get what you want.
