How to Check Power Steering Fluid

To check the power steering fluid, do the following:

1. Turn the key off and let the engine

compartment cool down.

2. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir

clean.

3. Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a

clean rag.

4. Replace the cap and completely tighten it.

5. 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 on page 533.
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

Your vehicle has a low washer fluid message that
comes on when the washer fluid is low. The
message is displayed for 15 seconds at the start
of each ignition cycle. When the WASHER
FLUID LOW ADD FLUID message is displayed,
you will need to add washer fluid to the windshield
washer fluid reservoir.
