Power Steering Fluid
When to Check Power Steering Fluid
The power steering fluid reservoir is located toward
the front of the engine compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on page 258for reservoir
location.
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 and let the engine compartment
cool down. Then check the fluid level.The level should be between the MIN (B) and
MAX (A) marks on the reservoir. If the level
is below the MIN (B) mark, add the power steering
fluid to the appropriate level. Replace the cap
and completely tighten it.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 382. Always use the proper fluid. Failure
to use the proper fluid can cause leaks and
damage hoses and seals.

Automatic Transaxle Shift Lock Control
System Check
{CAUTION:
When you are doing this inspection, the
vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle
moves, you or others could be injured.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough
room around the vehicle. It should be parked
on a level surface.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake. SeeParking
Brake on page 116if necessary.
Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately if the vehicle begins to move.
3. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON,
but do not start the engine. Without applying
the regular brake, try to move the shift
lever out of PARK (P) with normal effort. If the
shift lever moves out of PARK (P), your
vehicle needs service.
Ignition Transaxle Lock Check
While parked, and with the parking brake set, try
to turn the ignition to LOCK in each shift lever
position.
•With an automatic transaxle, the ignition
should turn to LOCK only when the shift lever
is in PARK (P).
•With a manual transaxle, the ignition should
turn to LOCK only when you press the key
release button.
On all vehicles, the ignition key should come out
only in LOCK.
Turn the steering wheel to the left and to the right.
It should only lock when turned to the right.
