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.

This factory service and repair manual is built for the 2016 Toyota Highlander as it left the line, matched to your exact year, engine and trim — the 2.7L four (1AR-FE), the 3.5L V6 (2GRFE) or the hybrid version of that V6 (2GR-FXE) — so the clearances, torque figures and service sequences it gives are the ones Toyota published for this vehicle rather than values carried over from an adjacent model year or a different powertrain.

Known issues on the 2016 Highlander. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is an electrical system recall on aftermarket replacement windshields sold by Fujian Wanda Automobile Glass Industry for use in 2014-2018 Toyota Highlander vehicles, where ECM damage may result in the engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. The second, from Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing, is an electrical system wiring recall involving the brake fluid level sensor on certain 2016 Highlanders manufactured May 26, 2016, to September 16, 2016: if the brake fluid level is low and is not detected, the braking performance may be decreased. The third, from Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC, is a labels recall covering certain model year 2016 Toyota Camry and Highlander vehicles, where an incorrect label may lead an owner to overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 137 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 126 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a stall back to the engine control module to a brake fluid level sensor check or a scheduled service on the hybrid drivetrain, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the right figure for this particular 2016 Highlander.
