Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid
reservoir is located in the
engine compartment
on the passenger’s side of
the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on
page 5-12
for reservoir
location.

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

Turn the key off, let the engine compartment cool down,
wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean, then
unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then
remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the
dipstick.

The level should be at the C (cold) mark. If necessary,
add only enough fluid to bring the level up to the mark.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-13.
Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
