Hydraulic Power Steering, Checking Hydraulic Oil Level

Perform the Following:

- Remove the cap from the reservoir.

- Wipe dipstick off with a clean cloth.

- Install the cap hand-tight, then remove it again and check the fluid level.

• Fluid level is only valid if screw cap has been screwed on.

Engine not running and front wheels in straight-ahead position.

- Check oil level.






Oil level must be located between lowest marking - arrow A - and the highest marking - arrow B - of dipstick.

• Fluid must be drawn off if the level is above the specified range.

• If fluid level is below specified range, hydraulic system must be checked for leaks. Refer to => [ Steering System, Checking for Leaks ] Steering System, Checking for Leaks. It is not enough to just add fluid.

• Do not use drained hydraulic oil.

- If hydraulic system is properly sealed, fill hydraulic fluid.

- Install the cap on the reservoir hand-tight.
