Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid
reservoir is located
toward the rear of the
engine compartment on
the passenger’s side
of the vehicle. See

Engine Compartment
Overview 
on page 410

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, 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 fluid level should be somewhere within the
cross-hatched area on the dipstick. If the fluid is at
the ADD mark, you should add fluid.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see

Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 518

.

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