Power Steering Fluid
The power steering fluid reservoir
is located under the engine cover
on the driver side toward the
front of the engine compartment.
See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 10‑6.
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 an unusual noise is
heard. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.
How to Check Power Steering
Fluid
Check the level after the vehicle
has been driven for at least
twenty minutes so the fluid is warm.
To check the power steering fluid:
1. Turn the ignition key to
LOCK/OFF and let the engine
compartment cool down.
2. Remove the engine cover. Refer
to Engine Cover on page 10‑9.
3. Wipe the cap and the top of the
reservoir clean.
4. Turn the cap counterclockwise
and pull it straight up.
5. Wipe the dipstick with a
clean rag.
6. Replace the cap and completely
tighten it.
7. Remove the cap again and look
at the fluid level on the dipstick.
When the engine is hot, the level
should be at the hot MAX level.
When the engine is cold, the
fluid level should be between
MIN and MAX on the dipstick.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to
use, see Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11‑6. Always
use the proper fluid.
