The steering pump hydraulic fluid reservoir is located on the inner panel of the left wheel arch mudguard, i.e. in the left front corner of the engine compartment.
1. To check the hydraulic fluid level, set the front wheel of the car in a straight-ahead position. The engine must be off, as well as the hydraulic fluid of the steering gear must be cold.
2. The walls of the reservoir on all models are made of translucent material, which allows you to check the liquid level without removing the lid (see accompanying illustration). Make sure that the liquid level is always between the upper and lower marks on the walls of the tank.
3. If necessary, add fluid to the reservoir through the reservoir neck using a funnel – use only the recommended grade of hydraulic fluid.
4. If the need to adjust the fluid level occurs regularly and frequently, check the steering pump, rack and pinion housing, as well as all hydraulic lines and their fittings for signs of leaks.
