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.

The 2016 Toyota Avalon was sold as two different cars under one body: a hybrid built around the 2.5L four-cylinder (2AR-FXE) and a gasoline sedan powered by the 3.5L V6 (2GRFE). The trim ladder splits the same way, with three Hybrid grades sitting alongside five gasoline grades, so the correct torque figure, fluid specification and diagnostic routine for any given car depends on which of the two drivetrains is under the hood.

Known issues on the 2016 Avalon. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all three sit in the restraint system. The first covers the air bag/restraint control module on 2012-2018 Avalon and 2013-2018 Avalon Hybrid vehicles: in the event of a crash, air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners may not deploy as intended. The second covers the front passenger knee air bag on cars manufactured August 3, 2016 to September 12, 2016, which may have been installed with incorrect fasteners that can become loose over time. The third covers the occupant classification system on cars manufactured November 30, 2015 to March 4, 2016, where air bags that do not deploy as intended during a crash increase the risk of injury. Owners have submitted 33 complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 140 technical service bulletins.

Whether the job is chasing a restraint-system fault, servicing the hybrid drivetrain in one of the Hybrid grades, or working a scheduled interval on a V6 Touring, the specifications and the procedures diverge between the two Avalons, and these are the ones Toyota released for the 2016 car.
