Be careful not to burn yourself because the flu-
id may be hot.
" When power steering fluid is being added,
use only clean fluid, and be careful not to allow
any dirt into the tank. And never use different
brands together.
" Avoid spilling fluid when adding it in the tank.
The power steering fluid expands greatly as its tem-

temperature. Therefore, the reservoir tank has two dif-
ferent checking ranges for hot and cold fluids.
Check the power steering fluid level monthly.
