The power steering fluid
When the engine compartment
is
cool, wipe
the
cap and
the top
of
the reservoir clean, then unscrew
the
cap and
wipe
the
dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and
completely tighten
it.
Then remove the cap again and
look
at
the fluid level
on
the dipstick.
The level should be at
the
FULL
COLD
mark.
If
necessary,
add
only
enough fluid
to
bring the level
up
to the
mark.
ec
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
thls
system could indicate
a
problem. Have
the
system inspected and repaired.
To
determine what
lund
of
fluid to use, see
“Recommended Fluids
and
Lubricants” in the
Maintenance Schedule booklet. Always use
the
proper
fluid. Failure to use
the
proper fluid can cause leaks
and
damage hoses and seals.
When
YOU
need windshield washer fluid, be sure
to
read
the
manufacturer’s instructions
before
use.
If
you
will
be
operating your vehicle
in
an area where the temperature
may fall
below
freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing.
