the vehicle for prolonged peri-
ods with a low power  steering
fluid level.

Never  start  the  engine  when
the reservoir tank is empty.
When adding  fluid, be  careful
that dirt  does not get  into the
tank.
Checking the power steering
fluid level
With  the   vehicle  on  level   ground,
check  the  fluid  level  in   the  power
steering  reservoir   periodically.  The
fluid  should  be  between  MAX  and
MIN marks  on the side of  the reser-
voir at the normal temperature.
Before  adding power  steering  fluid,
thoroughly clean the area around the
reservoir cap to prevent power steer-
ing fluid contamination.
Too  little  fluid  can  make  the
steering    wheel    heavier   or
strange noise can be  generat-
ed.
The  use of  the  non-specified
fluid  could  reduce  the  effec-
tiveness of the power steering
wheel and cause damage to it.
If  the  level  is low,  add  fluid  to  the
MAX level.
Use only  the specified  power steer-
ing  fluid.  (Refer to  "Recommended
Lubricants" in section 8.)
