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.

Fitment here is exact: this manual is written to the 2016 Lexus RX 350 as Lexus built it that year, down to the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS) and the trim it left the line in, so the specifications and repair sequences you follow are the ones published for your vehicle instead of numbers carried over from an adjacent model year.

Engines

  • 3.5L V6 GAS Naturally Aspirated

Trims

  • Base
  • F Sport

Known issues on the 2016 RX 350. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the side and curtain shield air bags on certain 2016 RX 350 and RX 350 F Sport vehicles: the air bag pressure sensors and/or the acceleration sensors may fail, causing the side/curtain shield air bags and/or the front air bags to not deploy in the event of a crash, which can increase the risk of injury. The second covers the driver's knee air bag on vehicles manufactured November 16, 2015, to December 23, 2015, where, due to an improper weld, the gas needed to inflate the bag may escape from the inflator; a defective inflator may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. The third covers the hydraulic service brakes and their antilock, traction control and electronic limited slip functions on RX 350 vehicles manufactured October 26, 2015, to February 8, 2016: the ABS actuator may have a damaged O-ring, which could result in improper brake fluid pressure control during ABS, Traction Control or Stability Control activation, and insufficient brake fluid pressure may cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 86 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are on record. The diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From an air bag system repair to an ABS actuator job or a scheduled service interval, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the correct specification for this 2016 RX 350.
