Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid

reservoir is located on the

passenger’s side of the

vehicle at the back of the

engine compartment.

See “Engine Compartment

Overview” in the Index

for more information

on 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 FULL COLD mark. If necessary,

add only enough fluid to bring the level up to the mark.

When the engine

compartment is hot, the

level should be at the

H mark. When it’s cold, the

level should be at the

C mark. If the fluid is at

the ADD mark, you should

add fluid.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see

“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.

Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper

fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
