See

Engine Compartment

Overview on page 5-12

for

information on the
location of the power
steering fluid reservoir.

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, do the following:

1. Turn the key off and let the engine compartment

cool down.

2. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean.

3. Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a

clean rag.

4. Replace the cap and completely tighten it.

5. Remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on

the dipstick.

The level should be at the FULL COLD mark. If
necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up to
the mark.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see

Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-12

.

Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
