Fig. 1: Checking the power steering fluid level

Fig. 2: Remove the cap for the power steering unit,
which also houses the power steering dipstick, and . . .
|
Fig. 3: . . . read the level — with
the fluid at normal operating temperature (after a minimum 10 minute
drive), it should read between the two marks . . .
|
Fig. 4: . . . if the level is low, add fluid — Type
F automatic transmission fluid is recommended, however, commercially
available power steering fluid is acceptable

The power steering reservoir is located on the left side of the engine. A dipstick is part of the cap. With the fluid hot — 10 minutes of driving — the level should be between the F and L marks. Use Type F automatic transmission fluid.
