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.

Fitment on this 2021 Toyota RAV4 manual is fixed at the year, engine and trim, so whether the vehicle carries the 2.5L gas four (A25A-FKS) or the hybrid version of that same engine (A25A-FXS), the torque values, clearances and service sequences it gives are the ones Toyota published for that exact configuration rather than a number carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2021 RAV4. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it falls in the air bag system: the occupant classification sensor, where an air bag that does not deploy during a crash increases the risk of injury. That campaign, 23V865000, covers a group of 2020-2021 Toyota and Lexus vehicles, the RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid among them. The record beyond that single recall runs far longer, with 496 owner complaints logged for the year and 228 technical service bulletins issued by Toyota.

Whether the job is verifying an occupant classification fault, a hybrid-system check on a Hybrid XSE or a routine interval on a TRD Off-Road, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 RAV4.
