Power Steering - Porsche Cayenne Owner's Manual

Power Steering

Warning!
Risk of accident resulting in serious personal
injury or death. When the engine is stationary
(e.g. when on tow) or the hydraulic system
fails, there is no assistance for steering.
Therefore, substantially more force will have
to be exerted.
f Exercise great care when on tow.
f Have the fault remedied at your nearest
authorized Porsche dealer.
The flow noise heard at full steering lock is design-
related and does not indicate a defect in the
steering system.
Further important information concerning "mainte-
nance" can be found in a separate chapter.
f Please see the chapter "EXERCISE EXTREME
CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON YOUR VEHICLE"
on Page 250.
Checking hydraulic fluid
f Use only hydraulic fluid authorized by
Porsche.
f Check the fluid level with the engine stopped
and cold (engine temperature approx. 68 °F or
20 °C).
1. Remove cover A.
2. Open the reservoir cap.
3. The fluid level should lie between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick.
Add hydraulic fluid if necessary.
4. Close cap carefully.
5. Put on cover A.
6. Close engine compartment lid.
Note on operation
f If the fluid level drops significantly, please have
the cause remedied immediately by an
authorized Porsche dealer.
