2015 Toyota RAV4 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual is keyed to the 2015 RAV4 exactly as Toyota built it, right down to the 2.5L four-cylinder (2AR-FE) and the trim your vehicle left the line as, so the clearances and torque sequences you look up are the ones Toyota published for this year rather than values carried across from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2015 RAV4. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first, from Southeast Toyota Distributors, covers equipment: accessories that detach from a vehicle may result in a vehicle crash and/or personal injury. The second, also from Southeast Toyota Distributors, covers trailer hitches, where the system may incorrectly detect an electrical short and turn off the trailer lights. The third covers the electric power assist steering system, where an unexpected loss of power steering increases the risk of a crash. The fourth covers the 12-volt battery, where certain replacement batteries may not fit properly in the battery tray and a battery short circuit increases the risk of a fire. Owners have filed 395 complaints against the 2015 RAV4, and Toyota has issued 153 technical service bulletins.

Whether the job is tracing a power steering assist fault, fitting a replacement 12-volt battery in the tray, or a scheduled service on the 2.5L four-cylinder, it holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the figure specified for the 2015 RAV4.
