Questions
What is the difference between an owner's manual and a workshop manual?
An owner's manual explains how to use and look after your car: controls, warning lights, fuses, fluids and service intervals. A workshop manual, also called a service or repair manual, is written for repairs, with step-by-step procedures, wiring diagrams, torque specifications and diagnostics.
Are owner's manuals free?
Most manufacturers publish their owner's manuals free online. We link you to the official copy for your car wherever the manufacturer offers one.
How do I find the right manual for my car?
Enter your 17-character VIN in the manual finder. It decodes the model year, model and engine, so you land on the manuals and answer pages that match your car.
What does a check engine light code mean?
When the check engine light comes on, the car stores a fault code such as P0420. A code reader plugged into the OBD2 port reads it, and our code pages explain what it means, how serious it is and the usual causes.
