G240A01A-AATPower Steering HosesIt is suggested that you check the power
steering hose connections for fluid leak-
age at those intervals specified in the ve-
hicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
The power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause premature
failure.NOTE:o Grinding noise from the power steer-
ing pump may be heard immediately
after the engine is started in extremely
cold conditions (below - 4°F). If the
noise stops during warm up, there is
no abnormal function in the system. It
is due to a power steering fluid char-
acteristic in extremely cold condi-
tions.
oDo not start the engine when the power
steering oil reservoir is empty.
