-- With engine not running, turn the front wheels in straight-ahead position.
-- Remove the cap.
-- Clean the dipstick with clean cloth.
-- Screw cap on hand-tight and remove again.
The fluid level must be in -A- range.
- Warm Power steering fluid (approximately 176°F (80 °C))

The fluid level must be in the -B- range.
