MAINTENANCE
Hydraulic Clutch Fluid
The clutch fluid reservoir is located under the
hood on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Check
the hydraulic clutch fluid level before each use
of the vehicle. Maintain the fluid level between
the MIN and MAX lines on the reservoir.
Use DOT 4 brake fluid in the hydraulic clutch
fluid reservoir. Use fluid only from a sealed,
clean container. Review the brake fluid
precautions on page 62.
NOTICE: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Always clean spilled
brake fluid immediately with water and a
mild detergent.
Clutch Fluid Level
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in gear.
3. Open the hood.
4. Wipe the fluid container and the area around the reservoir cover with a clean cloth.
WARNING! Using the wrong fluid or allowing air or contaminants into the fluid system can damage the
system seals or result in a malfunction that could lead to serious injury or death. Do not operate the
clutch while the reservoir cover is removed. Fluid could overflow from the reservoir and cause air to
enter the fluid system.
5. View the fluid level in the reservoir. If the fluid level is below the MIN line on the
reservoir, remove the cap and add the recommended fluid to the MAX line. Do not
overfill.
6. Reinstall the reservoir cap.
7. Depress the clutch pedal forcefully for a few seconds. Check for fluid leakage around the
clutch reservoir fittings.
