Windshield Washer Fluid - Buick 2006 LaCrosse Owner's Manual

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 and wipe the dipstick with a
clean rag.
4. Replace the cap and completely tighten it.
5. Remove the cap again and look at the fluid level
on the dipstick.
If your vehicle has the 3.8L V6 engine, the fluid level
should be between the ADD and HOT marks when the
engine is cold, and at the HOT mark when the engine
is hot. If the fluid is at the ADD mark when the engine
is cold or hot, power steering fluid should be added.
If your vehicle has the 3.6L V6 engine, the fluid
level should be between the Min (Minimum) and
Max (Maximum) marks when the engine is cold, and
at the Max mark when the engine is hot. If the fluid
is at the Min mark when the engine is cold or hot,
power steering fluid should be added.

fluid light may appear on the instrument panel cluster.

for more information.
In addition, if your vehicle is equipped with a Driver
