Unlike a conventional steering gear, a power-assisted transmission uses a fluid that needs to be replaced over time.
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 level of hydraulic fluid, it is necessary to set the vehicle wheel transfer to a straight position. When the engine is off, as well as the hydraulic steering fluid must be cold.
2. The walls of the tank on all models are made of translucent mala, which allows you to check the liquid level without removing the cover (see accompanying illustration). Make sure that the liquid level is constantly between the upper and lower marks on the walls of the tank.
3. If necessary, the fluid is added to the tank through the neck of the latter using a funnel - use only the recommended grade of hydraulic fluid.
4. If the fluid level needs to be adjusted regularly and frequently, check the steering pump, rack and pinion housing, and all hydraulic lines and their fittings for signs of leakage.
