The power steering fluid
reservoir is located
toward the front of the
engine compartment
on the passenger’s side
of the vehicle. See

Overview on page 386
for reservoir location.
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 you hear an unusual noise. A
fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
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 fluid level should be somewhere within the
cross-hatched area on the dipstick. If the fluid is at
the ADD mark, you should add fluid.

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 497.

Notice: Use of the incorrect fluid may damage
your vehicle and the damages may not be
