CHECKING AND ADDING POWER STEERING FLUID

Check the power steering fluid.

Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance

Guide for the service interval

schedules. If adding fluid is

necessary, use only MERCONt ATF.

1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating

temperature (the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator will be

near the center of the normal area between H and C).

2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right several

times.

3. Turn the engine off.

4. Check the fluid level in the

reservoir. It should be between the

MIN and MAX lines. Do not add

fluid if the level is in this range.

5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking

the level until it reaches the range between the MIN and MAX lines. Be

sure to put the cap back on the reservoir.
