Owner's manual or repair manual?

The owner's manual in the glovebox explains the controls and the service intervals. This is the other book, the one technicians work from:

• Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
• Factory repair manual: diagnosis by trouble code, step-by-step repairs, tightening torques, wiring diagrams and connector views

Your 2004 Eclipse Spyder is from the third-generation Eclipse Spyder, built for model years 2001–2005. Years of the same generation share most procedures; equipment and electrical details still change from year to year, so the manual follows your VIN.
