Safety Warning

Clutch Fluid: Inspection
Be careful not to spill the brake fluid. Brake fluid spilled on the vehicle body will harm the paint surface; wash it off with water and wipe clean quickly if spilled.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Check the brake fluid level using the scale on the outside of the reservoir tank. If the level is below "MIN", add fluid to bring it up to "MAX", and also inspect for leakage.CAUTION:
This reservoir tank has the brake fluid chamber and the clutch fluid chamber.
When checking the fluid level, always check the fluid from the clutch fluid chamber side where the tank hose is connected.
Recommended brake fluid:
New FMVSS No. 116 DOT3 or DOT4
