Hydraulic
Clutch
The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The master cylinder reservoir is filled with
hydraulic fluid.
It is not necessary to regularly check the fluid unless
you suspect there is a leak in the system. 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
The clutch master cylinder reservoir is located at the
rear of the engine compartment on the driver’s side. See
Engine Compartment Overview on page
5-12
for
more information on location.
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. See
