Bleeding
1. NOTE: When filling the reservoir, make sure
the power steering fluid is clean and not
agitated prior to use. The fluid should be
poured slowly into the reservoir to minimize
the possibility of aeration. The fluid level
should be checked with the fluid cold.
Fill the reservoir to the MAX mark.
2. NOTE: Make sure that the fluid in the
reservoir does not fall below the MIN mark,
as air could enter the system.
Start the engine and slowly turn the
steering wheel from lock to lock.
3. Switch OFF the engine and examine the
hose connections, steering gear boots,
valve body and pump for external leaks.
4. Check the fluid level. Fill up as necessary.
