handle clockwise
to raise the jack head a few inches.

of the wheel wrench to remove the cover
plate.
Loosen all the wheel nuts. Don’t remove the
wheel nuts yet.

the jack head fits in. The front notch
is 9 inches
(23 cm) back from the front wheel well. The rear
notch
is 8 inches (20 cm) forward from the rear
wheel well. If your vehicle has flared side moldings,

Here’s how to add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule
to determine what kind of fluid to use. See
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index. ~ , 1. The manual transaxle
dipstick is located
below the brake
master cylinder, near the rear
of the
transaxle case. Flip the
handle up and then pull out the dipstick
and clean it with a rag
or paper towel.
2. Push it back in all the way and remove it.
3. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower
level. The fluid level must be between the
ADD and
FULL
marks. (Note: Fluid may appear at the bottom
of the dipstick even when the fluid level is several
pints
low.)
4. If the fluid level is where it should be, push the
dipstick back in all the way and flip the handle
down.
If the fluid level is low, add more fluid as
described
in the next steps.
1. Remove the dipstick by flipping the handle up and
then pulling the dipstick out.
2. Add fluid at the dipstick hole.
Add only enough fluid to bring the fluid level up to
the FULL mark on the dipstick.
3. Push the dipstick back in all the way; then flip the
handle down to lock the dipstick in place.
Hydraulic Clutch
The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir
is
filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.
It isn’t
a good idea to “top off’ your clutch fluid. Adding
fluid won’t correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
