Solution

1. Regular Maintenance Schedule

Check the power steering fluid level every 6 months or as recommended in the owner’s manual.
Inspect the fluid condition; if it appears dark or contaminated, consider a fluid change.

2. Fluid Level Check Procedure

Tools Required: Clean cloth, funnel, and power steering fluid (if refill is necessary).
Open the hood and locate the power steering fluid reservoir.
Remove the reservoir cap and wipe the dipstick (if applicable) with a clean cloth to ensure an accurate reading.
Reinsert the dipstick or check the fluid level markings on the side of the reservoir.
If the fluid is below the recommended level, add the manufacturer-recommended power steering fluid until it reaches the proper level.
