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.
To check the power steering fluid:
1. Turn the ignition off and let the
engine compartment cool down.
2. Remove the engine cover,
if required. See
.
3. Wipe the cap and the top of the
reservoir clean.
4. Unscrew the cap and wipe the
dipstick with a clean rag.
5. Replace the cap and completely
tighten it.
6. Remove the cap again and look
at the fluid level on the dipstick.
The fluid level should be within the
area indicated on the dipstick when
the engine is cold. If necessary, add
only enough fluid to bring the level
within the area indicated.

use, refer to
