12-36 Simple inspection and service
The reservoir tank design varies from model to
model.
Your vehicle is equipped with either of the following
reservoir tanks.
• Manual transmission models
Type “A” tank
This tank contains clutch fluid.
• FK61F
Type “B” tank
This tank contains brake fluid.
5.1 Check
The fluid level should be between the “H” and “L”
lines on reservoir tank .
Also check the inside of the reservoir tank for for-
eign matter. If there is sediment in the reservoir
tank, have an authorized dealer check and clean it.
CAUTION
Do not open cap of reservoir tank for inspec-
tion purposes.
5.2 Adding fluid
1. If the fluid level is lower than the “L” line, clean
the surfaces around cap of reservoir tank, open
the cap, and add the recommended brake fluid
up to the “H” line.
2. Close the cap firmly.
WARNING
• The container used for adding brake fluid
should be a clean one free of moisture,
mineral oil, and dust.
• If the fluid level is unusually low, there is a
fluid leak in the brake line. In this case,
have your vehicle inspected at an autho-
rized dealer.
• Be extremely careful not to let dust and
other foreign matter enter the reservoir
tank, as foreign matter in the tank could
cause a failure of the brake system. If you
see foreign matter in the reservoir tank,
have it checked and cleaned by an autho-
rized dealer.
• Be careful not to exceed the “H” line when
adding brake fluid.
