CHECKING POWER STEERING FLUID
63E002±1
Check the fluid level through the reservoir. If necessary, add automatic
transmission fluid DEXRONII or III.
If the vehicle has been driven around 80 km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (\
a little
more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is hot (60 C ± 80C or 140F ± 175F).
You may also check the level when the fluid is cold (about room temperatur\
e,
10 C ± 30C or 50F ± 85F) if the engine has not been run for about five
hours.

Clean all dirt off the reservoir and look at the fluid level. If the fluid is cold,
the level should be in the ºCOLDº range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level
should be in the ºHOTº range. If the level is at the low side of the appropria\
te
range, add automatic transmission fluid DEXRON
II or III to bring the level
within the range.
To remove the filler cap, turn it counterclockwise and lift up. To reinstall it,
turn it clockwise. After replacing the filler cap, visually check the steering \
box
case, vane pump and hose connections for leaks or damage.
CAUTION
The reservoir may be hot so be careful not to burn yourself.
