In the steering box
Unscrew the screw located in the middle part of the steering gear housing (40). The oil should reach the lower edge of the screw hole. Add gear oil if necessary (ATF) manufacturer's specifications.
In the power steering system
The oil level in the power steering system should be checked every 20,000 km.
The oil level can be checked on a cold engine (room temperature) or at operating oil temperature (about 80°С).
Loosen the screw and remove the hydraulic pump housing cover.
Note: Some models may have a wing nut instead of a screw.
With warm oil (about 80°С) its level should reach the corresponding mark on the tank or 20 mm should not reach the edge of the tank.
With cold oil, its level should be 6-8 mm below the mark on the tank.
Add oil if necessary (gear oil for automatic transmissions - ATF). Always use fresh oil for topping up, as the smallest particles of dirt can clog the hydraulic system.
The total capacity of the power steering system is about 1.4 liters.
Inspect the pump cover gasket for leaks or damage.
Replace the pump cover and secure it with the screw or wing nut.
With the engine running, turn the steering wheel from side to side several times from lock to lock in order to expel air from the system.
