5) Check the fluid level using the scale on the out-
side of the clutch master cylinder tank (A). If the lev-
el is below "MIN" (B), add clutch fluid to bring it up
to "MAX" (C).
Recommended clutch fluid:
FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 or DOT4 brake
fluid
NOTE:
• Avoid mixing different brakes of brake fluid to
prevent degradation of the fluid.
