Hydraulic Clutch - Pontiac 2009 Vibe Owner's Manual

Hydraulic Clutch

The hydraulic clutch linkage in
your vehicle is self-adjusting.
The master cylinder reservoir is
filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
It is not necessary to regularly check
the fluid unless you suspect there
is a leak in the system. Adding fluid
will not correct a leak.
The hydraulic clutch and brake
master cylinder use the same
reservoir.
A fluid loss in this system could
indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired.
When to Check and What
to Use
The reservoir is located at the back
of the engine compartment, on the
driver side of the vehicle. Engine
Compartment Overview on page 9-6.
Vehicle Service and Care
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine how often you should
check the fluid level in your master
cylinder reservoir and for the proper
fluid. Part B: Owner Checks and
Services on page 11-12 and Part D:
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11-18.
How to Check and Add Fluid
Check that the fluid level is at
or above the MIN mark. If the level
is below the MIN mark, see the
instructions on the reservoir cap.
