On the 2.4L L4 engine, the power steering fluid

reservoir is located on the driver’s side of the engine

compartment. On the 3400 V6 engine, the power

steering fluid reservoir is located on the passenger’s

side of the engine compartment. See “Engine

Compartment Overview” in the Index for more

information on location.

How to Check Power Steering Fluid

Turn the key off, let the engine compartment cool down,

wipe the cap and the top of the reservoir clean, then

unscrew the cap and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.

Replace the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove

the cap again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.

The level should be at the FULL COLD mark.

If necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level

up to the mark.

What to Use

To determine what kind of fluid to use, see

“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.

Always use the proper fluid. Failure to use the proper

fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.

Windshield Washer Fluid

What to Use

When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read

the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you will be

operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature

may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient

protection against freezing.

Adding Washer Fluid

Your vehicle has a low washer fluid telltale that will

come on in the instrument panel cluster when the washer

fluid is low. See “Low Washer Light” in the Index for

more information.

The windshield washer fluid

reservoir is located on the

driver’s side of the engine

compartment towards the

front of the vehicle. See

“Engine Compartment

Overview” in the Index

for more information

on location.
