Fluid specification
Use any fluid to Dexron III specification. Fluids manufactured to
this specification are suitable for use in temperatures between -
20°C to +30°C (if climatic temperature falls outside these limits,
seek advice from your dealer).
NOTE: The colour of commercially available power steering fluids may
differ from that used to fill the system during manufacture. This is not a
cause for concern.
Emergency operation
Any frequent or regular need to top-up the fluid should be
investigated by a qualified dealer.
Under no circumstances should the car be driven with the fluid
level below the lower mark on the dipstick, or if a rapid or
significant loss of fluid is detected. However, if it can be established
that fluid loss is slow, then the reservoir may be topped-up to the
upper level mark to enable the car to be driven a short distance to
the nearest dealer for examination.
If the fluid has dropped below the lower level mark, top-up the
reservoir BEFORE starting the engine, or damage to the steering
pump could result.
