NOTE:
  • When power steering fluid temperature is 20°C (68°F), read the fluid level on the "COLD" side.
  • When power steering fluid temperature is 80°C (176°F), read the fluid level on the "HOT" side.
  1. Stop the engine to park the vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Check the fluid level using the scale on the outside of the reservoir tank (A). If the level is below "MIN" (B), add fluid to bring it up to "MAX" (C).
