POWER STEERING FLUID

Check the power steering fluid. Refer to scheduled maintenance
information
for the service interval schedules. If adding fluid is
necessary, use only MERCON

௡ ATF.

1. Start the engine and let it run
until it reaches normal operating
temperature (the engine coolant
temperature gauge indicator will be
near the center of the normal area
between H and C).

2. While the engine idles, turn the
steering wheel left and right several
times.

3. Turn the engine off.

4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir.

5. The fluid level should be between the MIN and MAX lines. Do not add
fluid if the level is in this range.

6. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking
the level until it reaches the correct operating range. Be sure to put the
cap back on the reservoir.

BRAKE FLUID

The fluid level will drop slowly as
the brakes wear, and will rise when
the brake components are replaced.
Fluid levels below the “MAX” line
that do not trigger the brake system
warning lamp are within the normal
operating range, there is no need to
add fluid. If the fluid levels are
outside of the normal operating
range, the performance of your
brake system could be
compromised, seek service from your authorized dealer immediately.
