ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
 Wasted power steering fluid should be handled according to local environmental regulations.
Steering Fluid Adding
The proper steering fluid level is between "MAX" and "MIN"
marks. It affects power steering system performance directly
whether fluid level of the fluid reservoir is proper. If fluid level
drops below "MIN" mark, it is necessary to add steering fluid.
CAUTION
 DO NOT apply foaming or expired steering fluid to vehicle. Otherwise it may damage the power steering
pump assembly.
1. Open the steering fluid reservoir cap, and add steering fluid to reservoir until the level reaches "MAX"
mark.
2. Start engine and run it at idle to drive the power steering pump assembly, thus filling whole steering system
with steering fluid.
3. Observe fluid level of fluid reservoir while engine is running. If fluid level drops below "MIN" mark, add
steering fluid to a proper level in time to prevent fluid level from dropping excessively and avoid air entering
power steering pump assembly.
4. If bubbles occur in steering fluid reservoir, perform bleeding procedures. Check that level is between
"MAX" and "MIN" marks when there are no bubbles in fluid reservoir and fluid level does not change any
longer.
WARNING
 If steering fluid sprays on your skin, immediately wash it off with water.
 It is harmful to your skin, if contacting with power steering fluid for a long time.
