| 1122332 | 2010-07-25 08:49:00 | Hi all. I'm after a manual for my new car (yeah yeah I know, I'm going on a bit about it). Subaru Impreza 1996 1800cc. It came with one... in Japanese. Google isn't helping much. Can anyone recommend anything? | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1122333 | 2010-07-25 08:56:00 | This? (printer1.blogspot.com) or this (might be same one) (pdftown.com) | --Wolf-- (128) | ||
| 1122334 | 2010-07-25 08:59:00 | Pop down to your local Subaru dealer. That's how I got a manual for a 1995 Toyota by going to the dealer. Think it cost around $59.00. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1122335 | 2010-07-25 08:59:00 | This? or this (might be same one) Both of them are workshop manuals. Already got that. After the owners manual. Also worth noting that those manuals have a big chunk of blank pages in them... Pop down to your local Subaru dealer. That's how I got a manual for a 1995 Toyota by going to the dealer. Think it cost around $59.00. About $58.99 out of my price range. |

| 1122337 | 2010-07-25 09:03:00 | Um why would you want a owners manual? What do you need to know? Next best thing would be (if it's not listed in a repair manual) sign up on some Impreza forums and ask. And nah I didn't, thought about it, but then realized I actually hate Subarus with a passion. |

So that's why you didn't find the 404 errors then. |

| 1122339 | 2010-07-25 09:10:00 | Um why would you want a owners manual? I'm trying to find out what a particular switch does, but also want it for future reference. It (the switch) doesn't show anywhere in the workshop manual (but it could be in the missing section). It pops up a light on the dash, with a snowflake, and the word 'hold' on it. I'm guessing it's some sort of snow mode. Mainly wondering it it's safe to turn it on while the vehicle is moving, and if it has any sort of speed limit on it. Also worth note, the repair manual seems to list a lot of things, but doesn't have the actual page for it. Good example is the rear wiper assembly (see attached pic). The very next page is for the cruise control (not in my car anyway). |

For glovebox/service manual: site:.com Subaru Impreza buy glove box service manual - workshop manual and for the switch... site:.com Subaru Impreza interior light switch +dashboard +forum Use slight variants for the search terms. If using Firefox - there's an addon called search cloudlet that display main keywords (as a cloud) at the top of search results to quickly target (by clicking or removing) the relevant search results. I have found a few overseas car parts this way. Also try docjax (http://www.docjax.com/), a little known search engine that's supposedly optimized for finding any pdf document online. Most manuals are in pdf. |
