Check Power Steering Oil Level Regularly
1. If the hydraulic oil is cold, do not start the engine, put the wheels straight.
2. Turn off a cover from a tank.
The power steering fluid reservoir is located on the left in front of the anti-lock brake control
3. Wipe the dipstick built into the cap with a clean cloth and screw the cap back on by hand. The oil level can only be correctly measured if the crumb is screwed into the reservoir before measurement.
4. When the engine is cold, the oil level should be near the minimum mark (deviation of 2 mm in one direction or another is allowed). When the engine is warm (starting around 50'C) The oil must be between the minimum and maximum marks.
5. If the oil level is too high, it must be sucked out. If the level is too low, check the tightness of the system, as in this case one top-up of oil is not enough.
6. Drained hydraulic oil should not be reused.
