Standard Procedure - Power Steering Fluid Level Checking

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 Dodge Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Intrepid, 2003 Chrysler Concorde, 2003 Chrysler 300M, and 2002 Dodge Intrepid. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED WITH ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS.

Wipe off the power steering fluid reservoir so that it is free of dirt (Fig 1) (Fig 2). Check the fill level of the fluid in the reservoir according to the markings on the side of the reservoir. Measure the MAX. COLD/MIN. COLD fluid levels when the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 32°C to 43°C (90°F to 110°F). Add fluid as necessary and do not overfill. Use only Mopar® ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid in this power steering system.
