How to Check Power Steering Fluid Turn the key off, let the engine compartment cool down, wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean, then unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick. The level should be at the FULL COLD mark. If necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up to the mark. Adding Washer Fluid When the windshield washer fluid reservoir is low, WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID LOW will be displayed on the DIC (if equipped). What to Use To determine what kind of fluid to use, see "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index. Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals. Windshield Washer Fluid What to Use When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions before use. If you will be operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing. The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located by the coolant recovery tank on the driver's side of the engine compartment. Open the cap labeled WASHER FLUID ONLY. Add washer fluid until the tank is full. 6-29
