Power Steering Fluid: Testing and Inspection

- Do not start engine but bring front wheels to straight-ahead position.

Oil in cold condition:
- Unscrew cap.
- Clean dipstick with a clean cloth.
- Screw cap on hand tight and unscrew again.

Note: The cap must be fully screwed in order to obtain an accurate fluid level reading.





- Check oil level: The oil level must be in area of MIN. marking (up to 2 mm above or below marking).

Oil at operating temperature (above approx. 50°C):

- Check oil level: The oil level must be between MIN. and MAX. marks.

Notes:
^ If the fluid level is above the area specified, the excess fluid must be extracted.
^ If oil level is below above mentioned area, then the hydraulic system must be checked for leaks. It is not sufficient to top-up with oil.
