How To Check Power Steering Fluid

Check your power steering fluid only when the engine is
warm. If the engine isn't warm, you probably won't get
an accurate reading.
Other models have a cap with a dipstick. If you have
one, unscrew the cap and check the dipstick. It should be
between ADD and FULL (if the engine is warm).
Vehicles with diesel
engines have a sight
glass. If you can see
fluid in the glass, you
have enough.
