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.
See
for reservoir location.
To check the power steering fluid, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition 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.
The level should be within the HOT mark. If necessary,
add only enough fluid to bring the level within the mark.
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Always use the proper fluid.
