Vehicle Care

When to Check Power Steering
Fluid

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 this system
could indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.

How to Check Power Steering
Fluid

To check the power steering fluid:

1. Turn the key off and let the

engine compartment cool down.

2. Remove the engine cover.

See Engine Cover on
page 10‑7
.

3. Wipe the cap and the top of the

reservoir clean.

4. Unscrew the cap and wipe the

dipstick with a clean rag.

5. Replace the cap and completely

tighten it.

6. Remove the cap again and look

at the fluid level on the dipstick.

The fluid level should be
somewhere between MAX and
MIN line on the dipstick in room
temperature. If the fluid is on or
below MIN line, you should add
fluid close to MAX Line.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to
use, see Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11‑7
.
Always
use the proper fluid.

Notice: Use of the incorrect fluid
may damage the vehicle and the
damages may not be covered by
the vehicle's warranty. Always
use the correct fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11‑7
.

Washer Fluid

What to Use

When adding windshield washer
fluid, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions before
use. If the vehicle will be operating
in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use a fluid
that has sufficient protection against
freezing.

Adding Washer Fluid

When the windshield washer fluid
reservoir is low, a WASHER FLUID
LOW ADD FLUID message will be
displayed on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Washer Fluid
Messages on page 5‑39
for more
information.
