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.

Hyundai published one set of specifications for the 2016 Accent, and this factory service and repair manual is matched to that exact year, engine and trim — so every figure and sequence you follow is the one written for your car, not an approximation borrowed from an adjacent model year.

Engines covered

  • 1.6L inline-four (97 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door hatchback
  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • GL
  • GLS
  • L
  • LE
  • SE
  • Sport

Known issues on the 2016 Accent. No recalls are on federal record for the 2016 Accent. Owners have still filed 160 complaints for the year, and Hyundai has issued 57 technical service bulletins covering it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems those reports touch are in this manual.

From narrowing down a fault other owners have already reported to a scheduled service on the 1.6L DOHC four, it keeps you on Hyundai's procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 Accent.

No active recalls The 2016 Hyundai Accent has no recalls on file with NHTSA.

During hot/warm weather, typically 65 degrees or hotter, as soon as I turn on my car, the traction control light, the ABS light, and emergency brake light comes on. When this happens, the speedometer does not work. The gas level on the screen will also fluctuate, as well as the odometer stops counting miles. The car will still drive normal with all these specific lights, but is obviously extremely dangerous as the speedometer does not work. Sometimes when this issue is happening, if I drive arou
