How to Add Fluid
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 tluid 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 (1/4 inch to
1/2 inch or 6
lnm
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.
When to Check and What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance
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.
