Power Steering Fluid Check
Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not required. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as anticipated.
Coordinate inspection efforts through an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your power steering system as the chemicals can damage
your power steering components. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
WARNING!
Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent
injury from moving parts and to ensure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill.
Use only manufacturer’s recommended power steering fluid.
If necessary, add fluid to restore to the proper indicated level. With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information.
