The fluid level should be checked using the HOT
MAX range on the power steering fluid reservoir

80°C) or using the COLD MAX range on the
power steering fluid reservoir at fluid tempera-
tures of 32° - 86°F (0° - 30°C).
If the fluid is at or below the MIN line, add Genu-
ine NISSAN PSF to HOT MAX or COLD MAX
depending on system fluid temperature. Remove
the cap and fill through the opening.

tainer. Old, inferior or contaminated

cle’s stopping ability.
