1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature by driving approximately 15 km.

2. After turning off the engine, immediately check the fluid level in the power steering system.



3. Unscrew the fluid reservoir cap and wipe dry the level gauge located on the underside of the reservoir cap, and reinstall and remove the cap. Determine the liquid level on the meter, which should be between the two marks.

4. If the fluid level is low, add fluid (specification ESPM-2C-166H) to normal levels. Add only new fluid.

5. After topping up the fluid, start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times, which ensures the removal of air from the system.
