Check the level when the engine
is cool.
To check the power steering fluid:
1. Remove the engine cover. Refer
to
Engine Cover on page 10-8

2. Wipe the cap and the top of the
reservoir clean.
3. Turn the cap counterclockwise
and pull it straight up.
4. Wipe the dipstick with a
clean rag.
5. Replace the cap and completely
tighten it.
6. Remove the cap again and look
at the fluid level on the dipstick.
The fluid level should be
between MIN and MAX on the
dipstick.
