Power Steering - Honda 1996 Civic Coupe Owner's Manual

Power Steering

On DX model with automatic
transmission, HX and EX models in the
U.S., and DX and Si models in Canada
You should check the fluid level in
the power steering reservoir
monthly. Check the level when the
engine is cold. Look at the side of
the reservoir. The fluid should be
between the UPPER LEVEL and
LOWER LEVEL. If it is below the
LOWER LEVEL, add power steering
fluid to the UPPER LEVEL.
Maintenance
UPPER LEVEL
LOWER LEVEL
NOTICE
Using automatic transmission fluid or
another brand of power steering fluid
will damage the system. Use only
GENUINE HONDA Power Steering
Fluid-V.
A low power steering fluid level can
indicate a leak in the system. Check
the fluid level frequently and have
the system inspected as soon as
possible.
NOTICE
Turning the steering wheel to full left
or right lock and holding it there can
damage the power steering pump.
