MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE

CLUTCH & BRAKES

CLUTCH :

Your caris provided with a single plate dry friction diaphragm

type, pre-loaded release bearing clutch which is

mechanically actuated by a cable connecting the clutch

pedal & the clutch release lever.

There is no free play in the system and hence no clutch

pedal free play adjustment is required although the clutch

pedal height from the floor has to be adjusted as clutch

lining wears and operate pedal 4-5 time and confirm no

change in pedal height. The clutch pedal height from the

floor keeps on increasing as the clutch lining wears.

However, ensure that clutch pedal has free movement when

lifted upward.

NOTICE

• Do not ride the clutch. It will cause premature clutch

wear.

• Do not release the clutch suddenly.

BRAKES :

Dual circuit, diagonal split hydraulic brakes through tandem

master cylinder have been provided. The front brakes are

disc brakes with floating type calipers while the rear brakes

are drum brakes with automatic adjustment. No adjustments

are required for front & rear brakes. The parking brake is a

mechanical lever type, console mounted, cable operated,

acting on rear wheels. To operate, pull up. To release, pull

the parking brake lever slightly up, press the release button

and push down the lever.  Pressure reducing valves are

provided on both circuits for the rear brakes to avoid locking

of wheels & skidding of the car. If parking brake lever travel

is observed to be more than 6th notch, tighten the

adjustment screw so that the parking brake lever stroke is

between 3 to 6 notches. Jack 

up the rear wheels and ensure

that the wheels are free to rotate in 6th notch.
