Vehicle Care

10-27

If the temperature overheat gauge
is no longer in the overheat zone
or an overheat warning no longer
displays, the vehicle can be driven.
Continue to drive the vehicle slow
for about 10 minutes. Keep a safe
vehicle distance from the car in front
of you. If the warning does not come
back on, continue to drive normally.

If the warning continues, pull over,
stop, and park the vehicle
right away.

If there is no sign of steam,
idle the engine for three minutes
while parked. If the warning is still
displayed, turn off the engine until it
cools down.

Power Steering Fluid

The power steering fluid reservoir
is located under the engine cover
on the driver side toward the
front of the engine compartment.
See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 10‑6
.

When to Check Power Steering
Fluid

It is not necessary to regularly
check power steering fluid unless
you suspect there is a leak in the
system or an unusual noise is
heard. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have
the system inspected and repaired.

How to Check Power Steering
Fluid

Check the level after the vehicle
has been driven for at least
twenty minutes so the fluid is warm.

To check the power steering fluid:

1. Turn the ignition key to

LOCK/OFF and let the engine
compartment cool down.

2. Remove the engine cover. Refer

to Engine Cover on page 10‑9.

3. Wipe the cap and the top of the

reservoir clean.

4. Turn the cap counterclockwise

and pull it straight up.

5. Wipe the dipstick with a

clean rag.
