Before pulling out the oil dipstick, thoroughly clean the oil tank and its immediate vicinity to prevent
dirt from getting into the hydraulic fluid.

If the oil level is too low, it can entail malfunctions which, in turn, may cause a failure of the
hydraulic steering assistance.

Check the oil level in the straight ahead driving position.
If the oil level is above the upper mark, there may be a leakage in the master cylinder of the ZF
Servocom RAS.
