Power steering fluid - level
WARNING
The power steering fluid level must be
between the reservoir's MIN and MAX marks.
The fluid does not need to be changed.
If there is a fault in the power steering sys-
tem or the engine is switched off and the
car has to be towed, the steering is much
heavier than normal. Read about what
applies for towing (p. 318).

The fluid reservoir is located on the driver's side.
The fluid reservoir is protected under the
cover over the cold zone in the engine com-
partment. The round cover must be removed
first before the reservoir cap can be reached.
IMPORTANT
Turn and open the cover located on the
covering.
Keep the area around the power steering
fluid reservoir clean when checking. The
cover must not be opened.
Unscrew the reservoir cap and fill the
fluid. The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks, which are located on
the inside of the reservoir.
Check the level frequently. The fluid does not
require changing. The level must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.
IMPORTANT
For recommended fluid grade, see Power
steering fluid - grade (p. 413).
Do not forget to refit the cap.
