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.

Two 2017 RAV4s can sit side by side in the same bay and want different numbers for the same job. Toyota built the year around a single 2.5L displacement but two powertrains behind it — the gas 2AR-FE and the hybrid 2AR-FXE — so torque values, clearances and diagnostic routines follow the engine and the trim actually in front of you rather than the badge on the tailgate.

Known issues on the 2017 RAV4. Two recalls stand on the federal record for this model year, both filed by regional distributors. Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) recalled certain 2017-2019 Toyota vehicles, the RAV4 among them, equipped with factory-installed floor mats, an equipment labeling defect: an incorrect label may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle. Gulf States Toyota, Inc. recalled certain 2017 Toyota vehicles including the RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid over the temporary/emergency spare tire, where a spare tire that is not inflated to the proper value may not perform as intended. Beyond those two, owners have filed 406 complaints against the 2017 RAV4 and 126 technical service bulletins have been issued for it.

Whether the job in front of you is a hybrid driveability fault, a spare tire that needs setting to its correct pressure, or one of those 126 bulletins to chase down, the procedure and the figure are Toyota's own for this year and this vehicle.
