Examination
1. The power steering reservoir is mounted on the left side of the engine. The plug is unscrewed by turning counterclockwise. 2. The test is carried out with the engine stopped and the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
3. To check the fluid level, unscrew and remove the reservoir cap with the built-in dipstick, wipe the dipstick and screw the cap back in (pre-wipe the tank). Remove the plug again and check the level at the edge of the liquid film on the dipstick. Fluid level must be in the Cold range (if the liquid is cold), or in the range Hot (if the liquid is hot).
4. If the fluid level drops frequently, check for leaks in the hydraulic booster circuit and eliminate the cause.
