Power Steering Fluid - Chevrolet 2006 Epica Owner's Manual

Power Steering Fluid

When to Check Power Steering Fluid
The power steering fluid reservoir is located toward the
front of the engine compartment on the passenger's
side of the vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 5-12 for reservoir location.
It is not necessary to regularly check power steering
fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system
or you hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired.
How to Check Power Steering Fluid
To check the power steering fluid, do the following:
1. Turn the key off and let the engine compartment
cool down.
2. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean.
3. Unscrew the cap.
4. Add power steering fluid to the appropriate level.
5. Replace the cap and completely tighten it.
If the level drops to or below the MIN (B) mark, add only
enough fluid to bring the level up to the MAX (A) mark.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see Part D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-25.
Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
The level should be
between the MIN (B)
and MAX (A) marks.
