- The clutch is of a dry, single plate type with a diaphragm spring.
- The clutch is a push type clutch. When the pedal is depressed, the release bearing will press the center of the diaphragm spring to disengage the contact between the pressure plate and clutch.
- The clutch control is hydraulic and operates the release lever using the hydraulic pressure generated in the master cylinder when the pedal is depressed.
- A conventional type flywheel is used on non-turbo models, while a dual mass type flywheel is used on turbo models.
- The clutch start system enables the driver to start the engine only when the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
