Clutch Controls - Overview: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The clutch control system disengages the clutch when the clutch pedal is pressed and engages the clutch when the clutch pedal is released. When the clutch pedal is pressed, pressure builds up in the clutch master cylinder and the integral release bearing in the clutch slave cylinder is actuated.
