Check the fluid level in the power steering

The marks for measuring fluid level in hydraulic steering

1. The range of "HOT" (for hot liquids) 2. Range "COLD" (cold fluid)

Nourishing the power steering reservoir is located on the right side of the engine compartment, on the front of the hood strut front suspension.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. To check the fluid level Place the vehicle on level ground. The wheels must be in the driving position on a straight line. The engine must be stopped. Note that since the stopping of the engine does not have to turn the wheel, otherwise the test will give an incorrect result. 2. The liquid level probe is checked, which is mounted in the neck of the tank cap. Wipe the surface of the neck and around it, and then remove the plug and check the fluid level on the dipstick. If the liquid temperature of 50 ?� to 80 ?� C (on the car trip was made in normal mode), the level must be measured in the range of the probe marked "HOT". When the fluid temperature from 0 ?� to 30 ?� C (after the trip took quite a long time and has had time to cool down the engine) level should be measured in the range of "COLD". 3. If necessary, fill the tank up to the mark "MAX", pouring the liquid only the recommended mark. Take measures to prevent the ingress of hydraulic dirt or other foreign bodies, it is also impossible to pour the liquid above the top mark. After the restoration of the level screw cap. Note that if you want to frequent topping up of fluid in the hydraulic circuit has a leak that must be corrected immediately.
