Land Cruiser Prado - User Manual

Post by farazharoon »

Hello all,

Thanks you everybody for your advice and tips while the process of buying the new vehicle. The organisation has now bought it but the new vehicle's User Manual is in Japanese.
Like most cars in Pakistan it a grey import from Japan.

Does anybody know where I could obtain a user manual for a 2004 Prado TX which is in English language?

THanks Jaco,

I have written them an email. Will see if they respond.
I really think it would be good if I can get a manual, today some message came up on the central screen and I have no idea what it means.

I took a photo of the error that was coming up on the display and sent it to a Japanese friend in Japan. Turns it it was just saying that there was no SAT-NAV disk inserted. Thats probably because there is no Sat-nav disc available for Pakistan.
SO no worries there.

Never got a response from them. But found another site that does sell translated owner manuals (handbooks). They are based in New Zealand because there is a big market for grey Japanese imports into New Zealand.
The below web address is for anybody who might also have a Japanese market vehicle and needs an English language owners manual for the car.

No problem. Hope it comes in helpful to others too

As far as I know they only sell paper based versions. They might be willing to sell PDF versions too. I did not ask them about that.

After much trials and tribulations the translated Handbook has arrived here in Pakistan from JPNZ in New Zealand.
Very happy.
