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.

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.

Item as described quick delivery

The 2015 Acura RLX service and repair manual is matched to this exact year, make and model. It covers both powertrains offered that year — the 3.5L V6 gas engine and the 3.5L V6 full hybrid — and all four trims.

Engines

  • 3.5L V6 — 3471cc (212 cu in), SOHC, naturally aspirated, gas
  • 3.5L V6 — 3471cc (212 cu in), SOHC, naturally aspirated, hybrid

Trims

  • Base Sedan 4-Door
  • Elite Sedan 4-Door
  • Tech Sedan 4-Door
  • Sport Hybrid SH-AWD Sedan 4-Door

Known issues on the 2015 RLX. One recall is on federal record for this model year, on the gasoline fuel system delivery fuel pump: fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 14 complaints with NHTSA for this model year, and 81 technical service bulletins have been issued. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system.

From a scheduled service interval to a fuel-delivery diagnosis or a hybrid powertrain fault, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2015 RLX.

NHTSA #15V30100020/05/2015Component: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: CRASH IMMINENT BRAKING

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Acura MDX 2WD and AWD, RLX and 2014 Acura RLX Hybrid vehicles. In certain driving conditions, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) may incorrectly interpret certain roadside objects such as metal fences or metal guardrails as obstacles and unexpectedly apply the brakes.

Consequence

If the CMBS unexpectedly applies emergency braking force while driving, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will update the CMBS software, free of charge. The recall began on July 6, 2015. Owners may contact Acura customer service at 1-800-382-2238. Honda's numbers for this recall is JQ4, JQ5 and JQ6.

An aluminum film applied to the inner reflector of the headlight may experience adhesion issues causing the film to delaminate. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Consequence

Delamination of the aluminum film may diminish output of the headlight, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace both of the headlights, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-310-783-2000. Honda's number for this recall is JN2.

I have a 2015 Acura RLX equipped with precision all wheel steer(PAWS). According to Acura, PAWS allows the rear wheels to move independently of the front wheels for better control and handling.
