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: removal and installation steps, torque specs, diagnostic trouble codes, wiring diagrams and component locations

The 2008 Escalade belongs to the third-generation Escalade (GMT900), model years 2007–2014. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but options, software and wiring changed along the way, which is why the manual is built for your VIN.
