POWER STEERING TOP-UP
ONLY check the fluid level when the engine is
switched off and the system is cold and
ensure that the steering wheel is not turned
after stopping the engine.
Wipe the filler cap to prevent dirt from
entering the reservoir.
Remove the filler cap and, using a lint-free
cloth, wipe the dipstick clean. Refit the filler
cap fully and remove it again to check the fluid
level. Add fluid to the reservoir until the level
is between the upper mark and the bottom of
the dipstick (see ’General data’ for
recommended fluid).
• DO NOT fill above the UPPER mark on the
dipstick.
WARNING
The engine must NOT be started if the fluid
level has dropped below the bottom of the
dipstick - severe damage to the pump could
result.
WARNING
Power steering fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed and out of the reach of
children. If consumption of power steering
fluid is suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If power steering fluid should come into
contact with the skin or eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water.
Do not spill power steering fluid onto a hot
engine - a fire may result.
Power steering fluid will damage painted
surfaces: Soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately and wash the
area with a mixture of car shampoo and
water.
