Vehicle Care To check the power steering fluid: 4. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. 5. Remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick. The fluid level should be between the MIN (Minimum) and MAX (Maximum) marks when the engine is cold, and at the MAX mark when the engine is hot. If the fluid is at the MIN mark when the engine is cold or hot, power steering fluid should be added. 1. Turn the key off and let the engine compartment cool down. 2. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean. 3. Unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. If the fluid is at or below the MIN mark on the dipstick, add just enough fluid to bring the level between the MIN and MAX marks. 10-25 Power Steering Fluid (2.4L with eAssist) The vehicle has electric power steering and does not use power steering fluid. Washer Fluid What to Use When windshield washer fluid is needed, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions before use. If operating the vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing. What to Use To determine what kind of fluid to use, see Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 11￿13. Always use the proper fluid.
