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. 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

.

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
