Check the fluid level through the reser-
voir. If necessary, add automatic trans-
mission fluid DEXRONRII or III.
If the vehicle has been driven around 80
km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little
more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is
hot (80AC or 175AF). You may also check
the level when the fluid is cold (about
room temperature, 10AC—30AC
50AF—85AF) if the engine has not been
run for about five hours.

Clean all dirt from outside of the reservoir
tank and look at the fluid level. If the fluid
is cold, the level should be in the "COLD"
range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level
should be in the "HOT" range. If the level
is at the low side of either range, add
automatic transmission fluid DEXRONRII or
III to bring the level within the range.
To remove the reservoir cap, turn it coun-
terclockwise and lift up. To reinstall it,
turn it clockwise. After replacing the reser-
voir cap, visually check the steering box
case, vane pump and hose connections
for leaks or damage.
CAUTION
The reservoir tank may be hot so be
careful not to burn yourself.
NOTICE

Avoid overfilling, or the power steer-
ing could be damaged.
