POWER STEERING FLUID
If power steering fluid
should come into contact
with the skin or eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of
water.
If the power steering is operating correctly, there will be little
or no requirement to top-up the reservoir. Any frequent or
regular need to top-up the fluid should be investigated by a
qualified dealer.
Power steering fluid is
highly toxic - keep
containers sealed and out of the
reach of children. If accidental
consumption of fluid is
suspected, seek medical
attention immediately.
If the fluid has dropped below the lower level mark,
top-up the reservoir BEFORE starting the engine, or
damage to the steering pump could result.
Under no circumstances should the car be driven with the
fluid level below the lower mark on the dipstick, or if a rapid
or significant loss of fluid is detected. However, if it can be
established that fluid loss is slow, then the reservoir may be
topped-up to the upper level mark to enable the car to be
driven a short distance to the nearest dealer for examination.
