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

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

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.

Toyota built the 2016 RAV4 around a 2.5L four in two forms: the gas 2AR-FE and the hybrid 2AR-FXE. Which of the two is under the hood, and which of the six trims the car was built as, decides the torque figures, clearances and service sequences that actually apply to it, since a Hybrid Limited and an LE do not share the same numbers.

Known issues on the 2016 RAV4. Two recalls sit on federal record for this model year. The first concerns tires: an incorrect label may result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash. It was issued by Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC and applies to certain 2016 RAV4 units alongside several other Toyota and Scion models. The second came from Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing against the hydraulic service brakes and the antilock and traction control system, on certain RAV4s manufactured October 30, 2015 to February 3, 2016, where insufficient brake fluid pressure may cause a loss of vehicle control. Owners have filed 289 complaints against the 2016 RAV4 and Toyota has issued 138 technical service bulletins for it.

Whether the job is a brake fluid pressure check, verifying a load rating against the actual build, or servicing the hybrid drive on a Hybrid XLE or Hybrid Limited, the procedure and the specification are Toyota's own for this 2016 RAV4.
