Check of level of liquid of the power steering
(each 4800 km [3000 miles] of a run or time in three months)
Unlike the steering mechanism of usual type, in the transfer equipped with the hydraulic booster working liquid which begins to need replacement eventually is used.
On 4-cylinder models the tank of hydraulic liquid of the steering pump is located on the internal panel of a mudguard of an arch of the left forward wheel, i.e. in the left forward corner of a motive compartment. On the models equipped with the V6 engine the tank has mirror rather stipulated above situation, i.e. it is established in the right forward corner of a motive compartment.
For check of level of hydraulic liquid it is necessary to establish forward wheels of the car in rectilinear situation. The killed engine, as well as hydraulic liquid of the steering drive has to be cold.

PAS tank walls on all models are made of translucent material that allows to check the level of liquid without uncovering. You watch that liquid level constantly was between the top and lower marks in tank walls. |
If necessary liquid is added in the tank through a mouth of the last by means of a funnel. Use only hydraulic liquid of the recommended grade.
If need for adjustment of level of liquid arises regularly and often, check the steering pump, a case of rack transfer, and also all hydraulic lines of the PAS system and their nipple connections for existence of signs of leaks. |
