INDEXPOWER STEERING FLUID
fig. 180-181-182-183-184
Check that oil level with the vehicle on flat ground and
engine cold is included between the MIN and MAX ref-
erences on the reservoir body.
The level may go over the MAX line when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the oil you use has
the same specifications as that already in the system.Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the system
checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure there are
no leaks.
Do not push the power steering all the way
for longer than eight seconds with the en-
gine running because it will cause noise and
risk damaging the system.
Because it is flammable, do not allow the
power steering fluid to come into contact
with hot parts of the engine.
