How to Check Power Steering Fluid
1. Turn the key off and let the engine
compartment cool down.
2. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean.
3. Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a
clean rag.
4. Replace the cap and completely tighten it.
5. Then remove the cap again and look at
the uid level on the dipstick.
The level should be between the ADD and FULL
marks. If necessary, add only enough uid to
bring the level up to the proper range.
What to Use
To determine what kind of uid to use, see
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 440.
Always use the proper uid. Failure to use the
proper uid can cause leaks and damage hoses
and seals.
Windshield Washer Fluid
What to Use
When you need windshield washer uid, 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 uid that has sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the
washer symbol on it.
Add washer uid
until the tank is full. See
Engine Compartment
Overview on page 322
for reservoir location.

5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap
stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by
increasing or decreasing the tire’s air pressure
for 10 seconds, then stop and listen for a
single horn chirp. The single horn chirp should
sound within 15 seconds, con rming that
the sensor identi cation code has been
matched to this tire and wheel position. If you
do not hear the con rming single horn
chirp, you will need to start over with step
number one. To let air-pressure out of a tire
you can use the pointed end of the valve cap,
a pencil-style air pressure gage, or a key.
6. Proceed to the passenger’s side front tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger’s side rear tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.8. Proceed to the driver’s side rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the con rming horn chirp
for the left rear tire, check to see if
the TPMS warning light is still ashing.
If it is, turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
If the TPMS warning light is not ashing,
the ve minute time limit has passed and
you will need to start the process
over beginning with Step 1.
10. Set all four tires to the recommended air
pressure level as indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
