IIRC, it was there when you first ran your iPad. At least it was on the 
iPad3 and iPad4 we have here. It autostarted in the iPad initial setup 
sequence but you could skip it. I seem to recall I did just that on the 
second iPad I set up.

According to this;  http://ipadacademy.com/ipad-manuals-and-guides/

It was originally accessible via Safari but I notice the link no longer 
works. That's because it's been relocated;

http://help.apple.com/ipad/9/#/iPad9940e497

You can also access it here though;

http://demo.tizra.com/iPad_User_Guide/7

Along with other more recent guides.

It's not as neat and easy as it was in the original autostart version. 
My iPad4 originally came with iOS6 or iOS7.

I must say though, it's a lot easier to go to the App Store and download 
the relevant user guide there. Most of the guides relate more to the iOS 
version than they do to the actual iOS hardware so just select the guide 
for your current iOS version. Mine is 9.2 so I suspect yours would be 
too. That said, I have the user guide for iOS7 and that works well 
enough for me.
