See your Maintenance Schedule for when to check your power steering fluid.

Check your power steering fluid only when the engine is warm. If the engine isn't warm, you probably won't get an accurate reading.

If the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX marks, you have enough. If you need fluid, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring it into view in the sight glass.

If your power steering fluid level is low, this can cause the brake or service brake soon warning lights to come on. If either light remains on after you have added power steering fluid to the proper level, then shut off the engine for 10 seconds. This should reset the brake warning lights. If one or both lights stay on though, see "Hydraulic Brake System Warning Lights" under Brake System Warning Light for more information.

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants .

Notice: When adding power steering fluid or making a complete fluid change, always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
