Maintenance and service
The power steering fluid expands greatly
as its temperature rises; the fluid level dif-
fers according to fluid temperature. There-
fore, 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.
1) Specified range
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 be-
tween “ 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 sur-
face of the reservoir tank.
3. If the fluid level is lower than the appli-
cable “ MIN ” line, add the recommended
fluid as necessary to bring the level be-
tween the “ MIN ” and “ MAX ” line.
If the fluid level is extreme low, it may indi-
cate possible leakage. Consult your SUB-
ARU dealer for an inspection.
Recommended fluid
“ Dexron III ” Type Automatic Transmis-
sion Fluid
Avoid spilling fluid when adding it
in the tank.
Be careful not to spill power steer-
ing 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.
