How to Add Fluid
When to Check and What to Use
Here's how
to
add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use. See
"Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.
1.
Remove the filler plug.
2. Add fluid at the filler plug hole. Add only enough
fluid to bring the fluid level up to the bottom of the
filler plug hole.
3. Install the filler plug. Be sure the plug is fully seated.
Hydraulic Clutch
The hydraulic clutch system in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. A slight amount of play (114 inch to
1/2 inch or 6 mm to 12 mm) in the pedal is normal.
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.
Refer
to
the Maintenance
y
k
I
Schedule, Owner Checks
and Services, 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
The proper fluid should be added if the level does not
reach the bottom of the diaphragm when it's in place in
the reservoir. See the instructions on the reservoir cap.
