BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR

The fluid level will drop
slowly as the brakes
wear, and will rise
when the brake
components are
replaced. Fluid levels below the “MAX” line that do
not trigger the brake system warning lamp are
within the normal operating range, there is no need
to add fluid. If the fluid levels are outside of the
normal operating range, the performance of your
brake system could be compromised, seek service
from your dealer immediately.
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT (IF EQUIPPED)

Check the clutch
adjustment. Refer to
the scheduled
maintenance guide for
the service interval
schedules.

The clutch on your
vehicle is operated by a
cable. As necessary, adjust the clutch as described
below.
1. Turn the engine off and shift into 1 (First).
2. Put your foot under the clutch pedal and gently
pull it up until the pedal stops.
3. Push the clutch pedal down slowly. You will hear a
click as the clutch adjusts itself.
TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid
(if equipped)
Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide for
scheduled intervals for fluid checks and changes.
Your transmission does not consume fluid. However,
the fluid level should be checked if the transmission
is not working properly, i.e., if the transmission slips
or shifts slowly or if you notice some sign of fluid
leakage.
