The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Fitment on this one is deliberately narrow: the 1999 Toyota RAV4 factory service and repair manual is keyed to this model year and to the 2.0L 3S-FE four-cylinder, so the torque figures and clearances you work to are the ones Toyota published for the 1999 car rather than a value carried over from a neighboring year.

Known issues on the 1999 RAV4. One recall stands on the federal record for this model year, NHTSA campaign 20V033000, and it covers the driver-side frontal air bag inflator module. Toyota recalled certain 1998-2000 RAV4 and 1998-1999 RAV4 EV vehicles under it; in the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the inflator may rupture. Owners have filed 75 complaints with NHTSA against the 1999 RAV4, and 30 technical service bulletins are on record for it.

The trim list above matters more than usual here, because the 1999 range splits two ways: the 2-door and 4-door gasoline utility bodies, in automatic or standard form, and the RAV4 EV, which the recall notice itself treats as a separate vehicle. Confirm which of the two is in front of you before you work to any figure for this year.
