2006 Lexus RX 330 Service and Repair Manual

Fitment is the whole point here: this service and repair manual is built around the 2006 Lexus RX 330 as Lexus specified it that year, right down to the 3.3L V6 (3MZ-FE) and the AWD and FWD driveline, so the clearances, torque values and procedures you work to are the ones published for this car and not a figure carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2006 RX 330. One recall is on federal record for this model year, filed against vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal, and covering certain vehicles. If the forward retention clip used to secure the floor carpet cover in front of the center console is not installed properly, the cover may lean toward the accelerator pedal and interfere with the accelerator pedal arm; the accelerator pedal may then temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position rather than returning to the idle position, which may result in unintended and sustained vehicle speeds and make the vehicle difficult to stop, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 98 complaints for the year. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.

Chasing an accelerator pedal complaint or simply working a scheduled service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2006 RX 330.
