Standard Procedure - Power Steering Fluid Level Checking

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS AND TO ENSURE ACCURATE FLUID LEVEL READING.

The fluid level can be read on the exterior of the power steering fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be within the "FILL RANGE" when the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 21°C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F) (Fig 1 ).

Before removing the power steering filler cap, wipe the reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Do not overfill the power steering system. Use only Mopar(R) ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid (MS-9602) in the power steering system.  For additional information on Automatic Transmission Fluid, (Refer to RECOMMENDED FLUID ).

CAUTION: Use only Mopar(R) ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid (MS-9602). Use of other Mopar(R) power steering fluids (MS5931 and MS9933) should be avoided to ensure peak performance of the power steering system under all operating conditions.
