Power Steering Fluid Level
WARNING! Hydraulic fluid is
a toxic substance which
must not be consumed or
allowed to come into skin
contact.
WARNING! Ensure that the
parking brake is on or all
wheels are chocked prior to
inspecting the power steer-
ing fluid level.
NOTE: Suitable wheel chocks
are at a minimum an 18-inch
(46 cm) long 4x4.
CAUTION: Do not operate
the vehicle if the power
steering fluid level is low.
1. Thoroughly clean the area around
the dipstick.
2. Check the fluid level in the reservoir
with the dipstick.
3. With the engine running, the fluid
level should be up to the upper
mark (MAX) on the dipstick. With
the engine switched off the fluid
level is approximately 3/4 inch
(2 cm) higher.
Air Filter Restriction
Indicator
The air induction system is equipped
with a vacuum operated restriction indi-
cator. The air filter element must be
replaced whenever the restriction indi-
cator has been activated; this is indi-
cated by the appearance of a red-
colored plunger within the indicator
body. For further information contact
your dealer.
