Pic. 1.230. Power steering reservoir
The fluid level in the power steering fluid reservoir must be checked daily (pic. 1.230).
During this test, the ignition key must be in position «OFF». The fluid level in the power steering fluid reservoir must be between the marks on the reservoir «MAX» («Maximum») And «MIN» («Minimum»).
Note. Immediately after starting the engine at very low temperatures (below -20°C) sometimes a crunching sound can be heard coming from the power steering pump. If the crunch disappears as the engine warms up, then the amplifier is working properly. This is due to the peculiarity of the properties of the liquid at very low temperatures.
Recommended Power Steering Fluid
Use fluid type PSF-3.
Note. Do not start the engine if the power steering reservoir is empty.
