Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid level must
be checked and it must be changed
according to the Maintenance
Schedule. See Maintenance
Schedule 0 327.
When replenishing power steering
fluid or flushing the power steering
system, always use ATF
®
(Dexron -VI). Failure to use the
proper fluid may damage the power
steering system seals and hoses,
leading to fluid leakage.
Checking the Power Steering
Fluid Level
The fluid level is correct if it is
between the MAX and MIN lines
on the power steering fluid tank.
If the level is lower that the MIN
line, add fluid up to the MAX line.
The reserve tank is located at the
rear of the engine compartment on
the right. When you have finished
checking the fluid level, securely
reinstall the cap and cover.
Warning
Before adding fluid, clean the
area around the cap and pour
fluid from a clean jug or filler.
Foreign matter getting in the tank
may cause power steering system
failure.
Do not mix the recommended
power steering fluid with fluids of
other brands. Due to chemical
reactions, any mixture of
differently branded fluids may
cause failure of the system.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
