Guile reference manual for Guile 1.8, "Pair data".  It is even indexed.
What version of the Guile manual are you using?  To quote:

   Guile implements pairs by mapping the CAR and CDR of a pair directly
into the two words of the cell.

 -- Macro: int SCM_CONSP (SCM X)
     Return non-zero iff X is a Scheme pair object.

 -- Macro: int SCM_NCONSP (SCM X)
     The complement of SCM_CONSP.
