heard. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.
How to Check Power Steering
Fluid
Check the level after the vehicle
has been driven for at least
twenty minutes so the fluid is warm.
To check the power steering fluid:
1. Turn the ignition key to LOCK/OFF and let the engine
compartment cool down.
2. Remove the engine cover. Refer toEngine Cover on page 9‑9.
3. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean.

5. Wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
