Vehicle Care Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic transmission fluid may damage the vehicle, and the damages may not be covered by the vehicle's warranty. Always use the automatic transmission fluid listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 11‑6. 3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under "How to Check Automatic Transmission Fluid" earlier in this section. 4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all the way. Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 11‑6 for the proper fluid to use. 10-15 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. 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. 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 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. 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.
