How to get the right Highlander manual

  1. Find your VIN on the driver's side of the dashboard or the door jamb label, and decode it below to confirm the model year and trim.
  2. Open the official Toyota owner site and choose the Highlander.
  3. Select your model year. If the site asks for a VIN, use it so the manual matches your exact equipment.
  4. Download the owner's manual plus any separate guides for navigation, infotainment, warranty and maintenance.
  5. Save the PDF to your phone so it's there when you're in the car without signal.

About Toyota manuals

Toyota's owner site has manuals, warranty booklets and the Warranty and Maintenance Guide for each model year. Sign in with your VIN and it filters to your exact vehicle, which matters because trim levels change what's in the manual.

Questions

Where can I get the Toyota Highlander owner's manual?

This page hosts Toyota's official owner's manual PDFs for the 2023 Highlander, copied from toyota.ca. Open one to read it in your browser, download it or print it. For other years, use the official owner site (toyota.com).

Is the manual the same for every Highlander year?

No. Manuals are written for each model year and the Highlander spans 2001–2026. Equipment, infotainment and maintenance intervals change between years and generations, so always use the edition for your year.

How do I check recalls on a Toyota Highlander?

Use the recall checker on this page, which searches NHTSA's recall database by model year. Recalls apply to specific VINs, so confirm with a Toyota dealer or at nhtsa.gov/recalls using your 17 character VIN.
