CLUTCH POSITION ADJUSTMENT
Tech Tips
The multi-mode manual transmission system has a load controlled clutch cover (adjustment system). The pressure plate moves depending on the wear quantity of the clutch disc lining.
When removing or installing any parts related to the multi-mode manual transmission system, move the clutch actuator to the clutch clamp position. This is for normal operation of the load controlled clutch cover (adjustment system).
If the clutch position adjustment operation input fails, perform the operation again from step (a) more than 15 seconds after turning the ignition switch to OFF.
Note
Do not depress the brake pedal while performing the clamp position adjustment using an intelligent tester.
Prepare the vehicle:
Stop the vehicle.
Shift the lever into the N position.
Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
