When to Check Power Steering
Fluid
It is not necessary to regularly

heard. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.
How to Check Power Steering

Check the level after the vehicle has
been driven for at least 20 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. See
