How to Download a Chevy Owner's Manual

When you buy a new car, you are provided with the original documents and books related to your car. The content you receive includes:

  • Operational information about your audio system
  • User's Guide
  • Your recommended maintenance schedule

These guides will help you learn how to respond when you encounter certain problems or warning lights, how to best maintain your vehicle, and how to use the features inside your vehicle.

There is a chance that you may not have the owner's manual for your Chevrolet. Maybe you bought a used car that didn't have manuals, lost or discarded the owner's manual, or maybe you thought you didn't need help manuals for your car's features.

If you do not have a printed user manual, you can download it from the Internet.

Method 1 of 2: Download the owner's manual for your new Chevy.

Step 1: Go to the Chevrolet website in a web browser..

The main page will display actual car announcements and new models on the screen.

Step 2: Find the "Owners" link in the top right corner of the screen.. Click "Owners".

Step 3. Find the "Manuals and Videos" section.. Under Vehicle Ownership, click Manuals & Videos.

You will be taken to a screen with vehicle options.

Step 4. Select the year of manufacture of your Chevy on the top panel.. The last nine model years are available in this section.

Click on your vehicle's year to see the model selection for that year.

For example, if you drive a 2011 Chevy Avalanche, click on 2011 on the top bar. The following results will be displayed:

Right-click the PDF user manual on the screen and select the "Print..." option.

Method 2 of 2: Download your old Chevy owner's manual.

If you have an older Chevy, you will need to find the owner's manual elsewhere on the Chevrolet website. Owner's manuals are available for 1993 and newer models.

Step 1: Go to my.chevrolet.com in your web browser..

This is an online hub for Chevrolet owners where you can find the owner's manual, as well as other support systems such as dealer service history information, vehicle recalls, and OnStar diagnostic reports.

Step 2: Choose your vehicle. In the middle of the current window, enter the year, make, and model of your car where it says "Select your car to get started."

Year, make and model are all drop-down select boxes to select a specific vehicle.

Step 3: Click "GO" to get your car's available resources.*.

Step 6: Save the PDF file to your computer.. Right click on the PDF file with your Chevy Owner's Manual.
