Default 2013 Owner's Manual PDF

My fiancees new RX350 was just broken into, and they stole the owner's manual. That thick packet of books that came with the car.

On the Lexus Driver's site, I see various owner's manual PDFs. Is there just one large PDF will all of the files combined? I found one for 2012 but not 2013.

Let me know if it exists. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

Google search in this case is helpful. Try this: http://www.manualowl.com/a/Lexus/201...50/Manual/6520

Bert, that is an excellent link. I backed it up a page to show all of the Lexus manuals in PDF format and for each year and posted it to our sticky 3RX FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) and DIY Thread ★★ NEW FAQ! PLEASE READ ★★

Thanks again for the link.

Wow, I guess they were looking for a valet key. Or maybe they had a bad case of insomnia. Anyway, I hope lugging around the manual hurt their back.

I thought the Lexus site has a place to order a new manual at no charge. I would contact the dealer. They might be able to get their hands on one for you. It sure beats trying to read PDFs.

My suggestion to Lexus Hq after reading the 2013 RX350 Manuals was to convert them to digital format and provide a complimentary digital reader. There's over 1000 pages of info to read and a lot of it does not pertain to the model that I purchased. Everything on the "Hybrid" etc. which I do not have and do not care to read about. I understand that the Hyundai top of the line sedan includes an "iPad" in lieu of printed manuals....Just a thot

Interesting idea. Personally, I would prefer to not have to pay for another electronic device -- especially if it would be a duplicate of something I already own -- in the base price of my vehicle if it cost more than the printed versions. I would be happier to just have the PDF available for download and fully searchable on my iPhone which is always in my pocket when I'm in my car, or on my iPad or Mac at home at any time. If Lexus would simply provide the complete PDF as a single file for each manual like at least 3 of their German competitors do, vs trying to be (un)helpful with their cut-up versions requiring use of their proprietary search engine on the Lexus Owners website, I'd be more than happy. I have the owners, maintenance and COMAND ("Nav" in Lexus terminology) manuals in PDF form for my future MBZ SLK (which are almost physically as large as my RX manuals stacked together) on all three devices, with diagrams, consuming less than 8MB of storage, so it's simple and takes less space than what a music album consumes to make my life a whole lot easier. The side benefit is I can read them offline at any time, even in advance of purchase that way and they are fully searchable every which way from Sunday. Wow wee.

Thanks again for the link.
Not sure if anyone has linked this site before (the Lexus Knowledge Center), but it has a whole bunch of nice professional videos describing many of the functions of the 2010 RX, many of which probably still apply to later models. I think I watched each one about 3 times when I was buying mine.
