How to Check Power Steering Fluid

Turn the key off, let the engine compartment cool down,
wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean, then
unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.
Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove
the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.

The level should be at the FULL COLD mark.
If necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level
up to the mark.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.

Windshield Washer Fluid

What to Use

When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read
the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you will be
operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature
may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient
protection against freezing.

Adding Washer Fluid

When the windshield washer fluid reservoir is low,
WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID LOW will be
displayed on the DIC (if equipped).

The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located by the
coolant recovery tank on the driver’s side of the
engine compartment.

Open the cap labeled WASHER FLUID ONLY.
Add washer fluid until the tank is full.
