XANTIA - XM - SYNERGIE  
CLUTCH : CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS  
Adjustment of push and pull action clutch with automatic compensation (adjustment of compensation system)  
Engines : BFZ - LFX - LFY - RFV – RGX - RFN - DHX - RHY - RHZ  
WARNING : If a system blockage is detected when checking, or if the pedal has been removed, the  
pedal position must be adjusted. This position is obtained by the angular displacement of the stop  
supports "a" and "b".  
Procedure  
- Loosen the nut (6) and the screw (7).  
- Using a lever, raise the stop support (8) to its highest position.  
- In this position, there must be a substantial free play in the pedal.  
- Lower the support until there is a free play of 2 ± 1 mm.  
- Tighten the screw (7) and the nut (6).  
- Check that the outer cable slides freely (at rest, the pedal is against its upper stop «A», the outer cable  
length should be variable).  
Characteristics  
- The automatic adjusting device requires no manual adjustment.  
- Pedal travel remains constant for all models 145 ± 5 mm.  
- Automatic adjustment is achieved by modifying the curvature of the outer cable.  
- Take extra care with the routing of the outer cable, and do not add any supplementary fixing points.

NOTE : This cable has an automatic adjusting device which takes up the clutch disc wear and makes up for the compression of the outer cable.  
DESCRIPTION  
1 - Metallic cable, crimped on both ends.  
2 - Outer cable or telescopic duct.  
5 - Tensioning spring ensuring the maximum length of the outer cable.  
6 - Wear take up device.  
3 - Outer cable stop, bulkhead side (fixed point on the bodyshell).  
4 - Outer cable stop, gearbox side (fixed point on the gearbox).  
7 - Attaching end-piece.

Operation  
Clutch disengagement phase  
Engagement / adjustment phase  
For the adjusting device to operate correctly, it  
is necessary that :  
The pedal is at rest (against its upper stop)  
The locking sleeve (1) is slightly compressed,  
the rollers (2) are free, the outer cable (3) length  
may vary.  
As soon as the pedal is applied, the attaching  
end-piece (4) leaves the sleeve (1) which  
moves back. The rollers, pushed by spring (5)  
jam the system. The cable behaves like a  
conventional cable.  
The pedal returns to rest on its upper stop.  
Attaching end-piece (4) pushes sleeve (1)  
which frees the rollers.  
Outer cable (3), kept extended by the spring (6)  
becomes :  
- Shorter if the clutch disc is worn.  
- Longer if the outer cable has been compressed.  
NOTE : The pedal gear has a non-adjustable assisting device

The new clutch control components are not compatible with the  
old parts.  
Both the old and the new components are marketed by  
«Replacement Parts».  
Draining-Filling - Top-up  
- Check the level after each repair visit.  
- Fill the circuit (after drainage), using a filling cylinder  
specifically designed for this operation.  
- Use the circuit’s bleed screw (7).  
- The level of fluid inside the clutch control reservoir should be  
between the min. and max. marks.  
NOTE : Wear on the clutch causes a slight increase in the level  
of fluid inside the control reservoir.
