10-30 Vehicle Care 5. Wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. 6. Replace the cap and completely tighten it. 7. Remove the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick. When to Check Power Steering Fluid It is not necessary to regularly check power steering fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or an unusual noise is heard. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired. 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 can fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing. How to Check Power Steering Fluid Check the level after the vehicle has been driven for at least 20 minutes so the fluid is warm. To check the power steering fluid: 1. Turn the ignition key to LOCK/ OFF and let the engine compartment cool down. 2. Remove the engine cover. See Engine Cover on page 10-11. 3. Wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean. 4. Turn the cap counterclockwise and pull it straight up. When the engine is hot, the level should be at the hot MAX level. When the engine is cold, the fluid level should be between MIN and MAX on the dipstick. Adding Washer Fluid What to Use To determine what kind of fluid to use, see Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 11-12. Always use the proper fluid. Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer fluid until the reservoir is full. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 10-6 for reservoir location.
