When to Check Power
Steering Fluid
It is not necessary to regularly
check power steering fluid unless a
leak in the system is suspected
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
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. Then remove the cap again and
look at the fluid level on the
dipstick.
The level should be between the
ADD and FULL marks. If necessary,
add only enough fluid to bring the
level up to the proper range.
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.
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 Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-12.
