Maintenance and service
Power steering fluid (if
equipped)
&
Checking the fluid level
WARNING
Be careful not to burn yourself
because the fluid may be hot.
CAUTION
.
When power steering fluid is
being added, use only clean fluid,
and be careful not to allow any
dirt into the tank. And never use
different brands together.
.
Be careful not to spill power
steering fluid when adding it. If
power steering fluid touches the
exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire. If
power steering fluid gets on the
exhaust pipe, be sure to wipe it
off.
The power steering fluid expands greatly
as its temperature rises; the fluid level
differs according to fluid temperature.
Therefore, the reservoir tank has two
different checking ranges for hot and cold
fluids.
Check the power steering fluid level
monthly.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface,
and stop the engine.
2. Check the fluid level of the reservoir
tank.
When the fluid is hot after the vehicle has
been run: Check that the oil level is
between
“
HOT MIN
”
and
“
HOT MAX
”
on
the surface of the reservoir tank.
When the fluid is cool before the vehicle is
run: Check that the oil level is between
“
COLD MIN
”
and
“
COLD MAX
”
on the
surface of the reservoir tank.
3. If the fluid level is lower than the
applicable
“
MIN
”
line, add the recom-
mended fluid as necessary to bring the
level between the
“
MIN
”
and
“
MAX
”
line.
If the fluid level is extremely low, it may
indicate possible leakage. We recom-
mend that you consult your SUBARU
dealer for an inspection.
