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. Remove engine oil fill cap.
3. Slide engine cover rearward and
lift to remove.
4. Wipe the cap and the top of the
reservoir clean.
5. Unscrew the cap and 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.
The fluid level should be somewhere
between MAX and MIN line on the
dipstick in room temperature. If the
fluid is on or below MIN line, you
should add fluid close to MAX Line.
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

Lubricants on page 6-12.
Windshield Washer Fluid
What to Use
When adding windshield washer
fluid, be sure to read the
manufacturer’s instructions before
use. If the vehicle will be operating
in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use a
fluid that has sufficient protection
against freezing.

reservoir is low, a WASHER FLUID
LOW ADD FLUID message will be
displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-56 for more
information.
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See Engine
