Vehicle Care

Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid reservoir is
located under the engine cover on
the passenger side of the vehicle.
See

Engine Compartment Overview

on page 10

for reservoir location.

When to Check Power
Steering Fluid

It is not necessary to regularly
check power steering fluid unless
you suspect there is a leak in the
system or you hear an unusual
noise. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.

How to Check Power
Steering Fluid

Notice:

Extremely small amounts

of contamination can cause
steering system damage and
cause it to not work properly. Do
not allow contaminants to contact
the fluid side of the reservoir cap/
dipstick or to enter the reservoir.

To check the power steering fluid:

1. Turn the key off and let the

engine compartment cool down.

2. Remove the engine cover. See

Engine Cover on page 10

7

.

3. Wipe the cap and the top of the

reservoir clean.

4. Unscrew the cap and wipe the

dipstick with a clean rag.

5. Replace the cap and completely

tighten it.

6. Remove the cap again and look

at the fluid level on the dipstick.

The fluid level should be
somewhere between the MAX and
MIN line on the dipstick in room
temperature. If the fluid is on or
below the MIN line, add fluid close
to the MAX Line.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to
use, see

Recommended Fluids and

Lubricants on page 11

13

. Always

use the proper fluid.

Notice:

Use of the incorrect fluid

may damage the vehicle and the
damages may not be covered by
the vehicle's warranty. Always
use the correct fluid listed in

Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11
