Checking Fluid Level

Checking Fluid Level
^ Check fluid level with engine stopped.
^ Make sure that fluid level is between MIN and MAX.





^ Fluid levels at HOT and COLD are different. Do not confuse them.
HOT: Fluid temperature 50 - 80 degreesC (122 - 176 degreesF)
COLD: Fluid temperature 0 - 30 degreesC (32 - 86 degreesF)
Recommended fluid: Refer to MA-9, "Fluids and Lubricants".

Fluid capacity: Refer to PS-43, "Steering Fluid". [1][2]Mechanical Specifications

CAUTION:
^ The fluid level should not exceed the MAX line. Excessive fluid will cause fluid leakage from the cap.
^ Never reuse drained power steering fluid.
