Add fresh fluid if necessary.
Do not allow the power steering fluid reservoir to become empty.
5. Screw the cap onto the power steering reservoir.
6. Perform a test drive, during which the power steering fluid warms up to a temperature of approximately 50°C. Check the fluid level, which should be between the MIN and MAX marks.
