Warning! Do not hold the steering wheel turned all the way to one side or the other for more than five seconds. This may damage the steering pump.
2. The power steering system reservoir is located in the engine compartment and has a screw-on cap with a measuring probe built into it.
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
4. Engine 112: Remove the left air intake hose.
5. Turn the cover (1) to the left by 1/4 turn and remove the level indicator (2).
6. When the oil is cold, its level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks (3/4) of the indicator. Oil is considered cold if its temperature is approximately +20°C.
When the oil is warm (+80°C), its level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks (5/6) on the indicator.
7. If necessary, the fluid level in the reservoir should be topped up. To top up the level, use only new fluid, as even the slightest contamination can lead to a malfunction of the hydraulic system.
Caution! If the fluid level in the reservoir has dropped below the fluid temperature zone, the power steering must be checked by a specialist workshop, as there is a loss of fluid. In this case, simply topping up the fluid level is not enough.
8. Insert the cap with the pointer and screw it on.
9. Engine 112: Secure the left air intake hose.
10. With the engine running, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times. This will remove air from the system.
