Simple inspection and service
6. Clean the end of the guide pipe for the level
gauge with yellow painted mark , then with-
draw the level gauge and wipe off all the fluid
that is stuck to it. Next, insert the level gauge
and gently withdraw it. If the fluid level on the
level gauge is between the notches, it is accept-
able.
CAUTION
The power steering fluid level gauge has a yel-
low paint mark . Do not mistake it for the
engine oil level gauge.
7. If the fluid level on the level gauge is not
between the notches, add fluid through the
guide pipe. Add a little fluid at a time, checking
the new level with the level gauge each time.
8. When the fluid level is acceptable, insert the
level gauge and secure it in position.
CAUTION
•
Use a clean container when adding the
power steering fluid. Never use a container
that has held any other types of oil or fluid.
Foreign matter in the fluid could result in a
failure.
•
Avoid adding more fluid than specified.
•
Insufficient oil can make the steering heavy
or noisy and can damage power steering
components.
1 Oil filter replacement
The first oil filter replacement during the run-in
period should be performed at the initial 4,000 km
(2,500 miles) point.
WARNING
•
Close the tank cap firmly; otherwise power
steering fluid will leak and could catch fire.
Also wipe clean spilt fluid.
•
If the power steering fluid level becomes
abnormally low, fluid may be leaking. Have
the steering system inspected by an
authorized dealer.
