Turn the key off and let the engine compartment
cool down.
Overview on page 5-12 for
the location of the power
steering fluid reservoir.
2. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean.

Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a
clean rag.
4.
5.
Replace the cap and completely tighten it.

up to the mark.
When to Check Power Steering Fluid
What to Use
It is not necessary to regularly check power steering fluid
unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or
you hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired.
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-13.
Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
