If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to the dealership
service department and have it repaired as soon as
possible. SeePart D: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-24for the proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
There is one reservoir for both the brake and the
hydraulic clutch fluid. SeeBrakes on page 5-31for more
information.

self-adjusting. The master cylinder reservoir is filled
with hydraulic fluid.

you suspect there is a leak in the system. Adding fluid
will not correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.

often you should check the fluid level in your master
cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See
