MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE Clutch & Brakes
CLUTCH :
Your car is provided with a single plate dry friction diaphragm type,
pre-loaded release bearing clutch which is mechanically actuated
by a cable connecting the clutch pedal & the clutch release lever.
There is no free play in the system and hence no clutch pedal free
play adjustment is required although the clutch pedal height from
the floor has to be adjusted as clutch lining wears. The clutch pedal
height from the floor keeps on increasing as the clutch lining wears.
However, ensure that clutch pedal has free movement when lifted
upward
Do not ride the clutch. It will cause premature clutch wear.
Do not release the clutch suddenly.
BRAKES :
Dual circuit, diagonal split hydraulic brakes through tandem master
cylinder have been provided. The front brakes are disc brakes with
floating type calipers while the rear brakes are drum brakes with
automatic adjustment.
No adjustments are required for front & rear brakes.
The parking brake is a mechanical lever type, console mounted,
cable operated, acting on rear wheels.
To operate, pull up.
To release pull up, press the button, lower handle then release the
button & handle.
Pressure reducing valves are provided on both circuits for the rear
brakes to avoid locking of wheels & skidding of the car.
