Power steering fluid

Checking the fluid level
WARNING
Be careful not to burn yourself because the fluid may be hot.
CAUTION
D
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.
D
Avoid spilling fluid when adding it in the tank.
The power steering fluid expands greatly as its temperature rises; the
fluid level differs according to fluid temperature. Therefore, the reser-
voir 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 res-
ervoir tank.
3. If the fluid level is lower than the applicable “MIN” line, add the
recommended fluid as necessary to bring the level between the
“MIN” and “MAX” line.
