3B1-6 POWER STEERING (P/S) SYSTEM (If equipped)
Power Steering Belt Check
INSPECTION
• Check that belt is free from any damage and properly fitted
in pulley groove.
• Check belt tension by measuring how much it deflects when
pushed at mid-point between pulley with about 10 kg (22 lb)
force.

"a" : 6 – 9 mm (0.25 – 0.35 in.)
Power Steering Belt Tension Adjustment
1) Loosen tension pulley bolts (3) and set hexagon wrench to
hexagon hole (5).
2) Turn tension pulley counterclockwise by hexagon wrench in
order to obtain above specification.
3) Tighten tension pulley bolts to specified torque.

Power Steering Fluid Level Check
CAUTION:
• Make sure to use an equivalent of DEXRON

DEXRON
-IIE or DEXRON
• Fluid level should be checked when fluid is cool before
starting engine.
With engine stopped check fluid level indicated on P/S fluid reser-
voir (1) or level gauge (3), which should be between MAX and
MIN marks. If it is lower than lower limit (MIN), replenish fluid up
to upper limit (MAX) mark.
