If your vehicle is
equipped with the
3.8L V6 engine,
check
the power steering
fluid level with the
engine at normal
operating temperature.

1. Start the engine and
let it run until it
reaches normal
operating temperature
(the engine coolant
temperature gauge
indicator will be near
the center of the
normal area between H
and C).

2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel
left and right several times.

3. Turn the engine off.

4. Check the fluid level on the dipstick. It should be
within the FULL HOT range. Do not add fluid if the
level is within this range.

5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts,
continuously checking the level until it reaches the
correct operating range. Be sure to put the cap back
on the reservoir.
