fluid level as described under
“How to Check Automatic
Transmission Fluid” earlier in
this section.

obtained, push the dipstick back
in all the way.
Manual Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
manual transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the
only reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to the
dealer service department and have
it repaired as soon as possible. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11‑6 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 10‑24 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 11‑2 and Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 11‑6.
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 10‑8 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.
