Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

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

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

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.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2012 Honda CR-V is built around the 2.4L L4 (K24Z7) engine and the trim you actually drive, so the torque values, clearances and diagnostic steps you follow are the ones Honda published for this exact configuration, not a generic stand-in from another CR-V year.

Engines covered

  • 2.4L inline-four (144 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • EX
  • EX-L
  • LX
  • Touring

Known issues on the 2012 CR-V. No recalls are on federal record for the 2012 Honda CR-V, and no complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year either. That clean record still means every K24Z7 specification and factory procedure in this manual is worth having on hand for scheduled maintenance and everyday repair work.

From a timing chain service to a routine oil and filter change, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2012 CR-V.
