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. See Engine Compartment Overview for reservoir location.

You can check your fluid without taking the cap off. The level should fall between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see Part D: 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.
