It is
not
necessary to regularly check power steering
fluid unless
you
suspect there is

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.

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 between the ADD and
FULL
marks.
If
necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up
to the proper range.

of
fluid to use, see
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants’’
in
the Index.
Always use
the
proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
