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.

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 2022 Acura RDX was offered with a single powertrain, the 2.0L turbocharged I4, across five trims. This manual is matched to that exact year, so the specifications and service sequences are correct for your engine and trim.

Engines

  • 2.0L I4 — 1996cc (122 cu in), DOHC, turbocharged, gas

Trims

  • SH-AWD Sport Utility 4-Door
  • Base Sport Utility 4-Door

  • Advance Sport Utility 4-Door
  • A-Spec Sport Utility 4-Door

Known issues on the 2022 RDX. One recall is on federal record for this model year: a front-passenger occupant classification sensor in the air bag system, where an air bag that deploys unintentionally during a crash can increase the risk of injury. Owners have filed 40 complaints and Acura has issued 138 technical service bulletins for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind those systems.

From a routine service interval to an air bag sensor diagnosis or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2022 RDX.
