Reading your car owner’s manual may not be nearly as exciting as reading a New York Times bestseller, but it does provide you with helpful, useful and valuable information, instructions and warnings for your vehicle’s make and model. If you happen to lose or misplace your manual, you’re going to need to find another one. For the most part, most car manufacturers and brands offer free owner’s manuals online. However, not all owner’s manuals are free of charge. For instance, Audi, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Scion, Suzuki and Volkswagen charge a fee for their owner’s manuals. Here, we are only going to talk about the free manuals! Note: some of the websites require you to register a free account, while some want you to provide your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or some part of the VIN.
