Vehicle Care

Notice:

After driving in the

overheated engine protection
operating mode, to avoid engine
damage, allow the engine to cool
before attempting any repair. The
engine oil will be severely
degraded. Repair the cause of
coolant loss, change the oil and
reset the oil life system. See

Power Steering Fluid

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

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

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

.

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.

use, see
