Filling
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 compartment.
The round cover must be removed first before the
reservoir cap can be reached.
Turn and open the cover located on the cov-
ering.
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.
IMPORTANT
Do not forget to refit the cap.
Power steering fluid - level
The power steering fluid level must be between
the reservoir's MIN and MAX marks. The fluid
does not need to be changed.
IMPORTANT
Keep the area around the power steering
fluid reservoir clean when checking. The cover
must not be opened.
Check the level frequently. The fluid does not
require changing. The level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks.
For recommended fluid grade, see Power steer-
ing fluid - grade (p. 420).
WARNING
If there is a fault in the power steering system
or if the engine is switched off and the car
has to be towed, the steering is much heavier
than normal. Read about what applies for tow-
ing (p. 319).
