Hydraulic Clutch

The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is

-

adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is

filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.

It is not necessary to regularly check clutch 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

Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule 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 and Add Fluid

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.

Rear Axle

When to Check Lubricant

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
how often to check the lubricant. Additional rear axle
scheduled maintenance is required when trailer towing.
See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index for
more information.
