FAQQuestions about the RLX manual
Which RLX years does this manual cover?
Every year from 2014 to 2020 — 7 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.
Is this the OEM Acura RLX manual or an aftermarket guide?
The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Acura published for the RLX, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.
Does it include RLX wiring diagrams?
Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every RLX manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.
Does the manual cover RLX recalls?
8 recalls are on federal record across the 2014–2020 RLX, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Acura dealers.
Why do some RLX years cost more?
Every RLX year is $49.99.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.
How do I get the manual after purchase?
