Where to check for power steering fluid

4. Remove the dipstick to read the power
steering fluid level. If the power steering
fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts,
continuously checking the level, until you
reach the HIGH line. Do not overfill. To find
out how much fluid your vehicle's power
steering fluid reservoir will hold, see Refill
capacities for fluids in the Index.
5. When you are finished, put the dipstick back
in and make sure that it fits snugly.
If the power steering fluid is low, do not drive
your vehicle for a long period of time before
adding fluid. This can damage the power
steering pump.
If you must check the power steering fluid
before it reaches normal operating temperature,
make sure that the fluid reaches the "L" (LOW)
line range in the reservoir. The reading will only
be accurate if the fluid temperature is
approximately 70˚ to 100˚F (21˚ to 38˚C).
