Manual Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to the dealer/
retailer service department and have it repaired as soon
as possible. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 7 ‑ 12 for the proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
There is one reservoir for both the brake and the
hydraulic clutch fluid. See
Brakes on page 6 ‑ 34 for
more information.
The hydraulic clutch linkage in the vehicle is
self-adjusting. The master cylinder reservoir is
filled with hydraulic fluid.
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 to check the fluid level in the master cylinder
reservoir and for the proper fluid. See
Scheduled
Maintenance on page 7 ‑ 3 and Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 7 ‑ 12 .
How to Check and Add Fluid
The reservoir is located near the back of the engine
compartment on the driver side of the vehicle. See
Engine Compartment Overview on page 6 ‑ 14 for more
information on location.
To check the fluid level, look on the side of the
reservoir. If the fluid reaches the MAX (A) mark on the
reservoir, the fluid level is correct. If the fluid does not
reach the MIN (B) mark on the reservoir, then fluid
needs to be added.
