• Retighten the cap then unscrew it
again and check the level: it should
match the "MAX" notch marked on
the dipstick. In hot oil conditions, the
level may even exceed the "MAX"
notch.
• If necessary, top up with fluid
making sure that it has the same
characteristics as the one already
used in the system (refer to
"Refillings" in section 8).
CAUTION!
• Make sure that the power steering
fluid does not come in touch with
the engine hot parts as it is
flammable.
• When the engine is running, do not
keep the steering wheel completely
turned for longer than 8 seconds,
unless absolutely necessary. This will
cause a noise and also the
overheating of the hydraulic steering
fluid and could damage the hydraulic
steering system.
Coolant, Transmission and Hydraulic
Steering System Fluid Level Check
The coolant contained in the bottle of
this system is equal to the one used for
the cooling system of the engine. For
the preparation of the mixture of
water and antifreeze and for the
