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
When the engine compartment is cool, 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
FULL
COLD
mark.
If
necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up to
the mark.
What to
Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of fluid to use. See “Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants” in the Maintenance Schedule booklet.
Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.

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