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 between the HOT and COLD marks.
If necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up to
the mark.

Always use the proper fluid.
Notice: Use of the incorrect fluid may damage the
