Checking power steering fluid level
- Remove sealing cap - 1 - from refill tank - 2 -.
- Clean off oil dipstick with a clean rag.
- Screw in sealing cap hand-tight, remove again and check fluid level.

Fluid level is only valid if screw cap has been screwed on.

Engine not running and front wheels in straight-ahead position.





- Check oil level.

Oil level must be located between lowest marking - arrow A - and highest marking - arrow B - of oil dipstick.

If oil level is above marking - arrow B -, the oil must be extracted.

If fluid level is below specified range, hydraulic system must be checked for leaks. It is not enough to simply top off with fluid.

Do not reuse fluid you have drained.
- If hydraulic system is properly sealed, top off hydraulic fluid.
- Screw sealing cap hand-tight on refill tank.
