284 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
• Increased noise levels at the end of the steering wheel
travel are considered normal and do not indicate that there
is a problem with the power steering system.
• Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power steering
pump may make noise for a short amount of time. This is
due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This
noise should be considered normal, and it does not in any
way damage the steering system.
Power Steering Fluid Check
Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service
interval is not required. The fluid should only be checked if
a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or
the system is not functioning as anticipated. Check fluid
level when the engine is cold and off. Coordinate inspection
efforts through an authorized dealer.
If necessary, add fluid to restore to the proper indicated
level. With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all
surfaces. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical
Specifications” for further information.
CAUTION!
Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of
the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid
temperature and it should be avoided when possible.
Damage to the power steering pump may occur.
WARNING!
Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with
the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and
to ensure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill.
Use only manufacturer's recommended power steering
fluid.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your power steering
system as the chemicals can damage your power steering
components. Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
