Checking the power steering system fluid level
Checking the power steering system fluid level
FROM Assembly No. 98002, a different power steering fluid is prescribed.
The power steering fluid specified FROM Assembly No. 98002 must be used following installation of
the components of the RETROFIT KIT Part No. 279663.
Before topping up or filling the power steering system, always check which type of fluid should be
used, as mixing the two different types of power steering fluid will damage the power steering
system itself.
The power steering fluid level must be checked with the system warm, after driving for at least 15 Km.
If checked cold, the level may appear to be excessively low even with the correct amount of fluid in the
system.
At the intervals specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, check the level of liquid in the power steering
system.
Undo the cap (A).
Use the dipstick on the cap (A) to check that the
power steering fluid level is between the MIN
and MAX levels.
There are MIN and MAX levels indicated on
both sides of the dipstick. Use the levels on
the side indicating the temperature 90°C.
If the level is near the MIN level, top up with
power steering fluid to reach the MAX level.
Levels approaching the MIN limit may be
indicative of excessive power steering fluid
consumption.
