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: how to take parts out and put them back, the torque for every bolt, fault codes and complete wiring diagrams

The 2014 Cruze belongs to the first-generation Cruze (J300), model years 2009–2016. 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.
