Hydraulic Clutch
The hydraulic clutch in your vehicle
is
self-adjusting. The clutch master
cylinder reservoir is filled with hydraulic
clutch fluid.
It isn’t
a
good idea to “top
off”
your
clutch fluid. Adding fluid won’t correct
a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could
indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired.
When
to
Check and What
to
Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to
determine how often
you
should check
the fluid level in your clutch master
cylinder reservoir and for the proper
fluid. See
Owner Checks and Services
and
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
in the
Index.
How
to
Check
You
do not need to check the fluid level
unless you suspect a clutch problem.
To
check the fluid level, take the cap off. If
the fluid reaches the step inside the
reservoir, the fluid level is correct.
