Steering Fluid Draining
1. Set steering wheel to straight-ahead position.
2. Turn off all the electrical equipment and ignition switch.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Turn ignition switch to ACC.
5. Open the steering fluid reservoir cap.
6. Remove the engine lower protector assembly (
7. Remove the fluid suction pipe clamp (arrow) on the
power steering pump assembly side.
8. Place a fluid container under the fluid suction pipe, and disconnect the fluid suction pipe joint to collect
steering fluid flowing from the fluid suction pipe.
9. Turn the steering wheel left and right to the limit positions, and repeat the operation several times to drain
steering fluid in steering system.
Steering wheel turns heavily or steering
effort is uneven
Tire (improperly inflated)
Front wheel alignment (wrong)
Steering fluid (insufficient)
Fluid pipe (leakage or blocking)
Ball pin assembly (worn or loose)
Steering tie rod assembly (worn or loose)

Steering Fluid Adding
The proper steering fluid level is between "MAX" and "MIN"
marks. It affects power steering system performance directly
whether fluid level of the fluid reservoir is proper. If fluid level
drops below "MIN" mark, it is necessary to add steering fluid.
1. Open the steering fluid reservoir cap, and add steering fluid to reservoir until the level reaches "MAX"
mark.
2. Start engine and run it at idle to drive the power steering pump assembly, thus filling whole steering system
with steering fluid.
3. Observe fluid level of fluid reservoir while engine is running. If fluid level drops below "MIN" mark, add
steering fluid to a proper level in time to prevent fluid level from dropping excessively and avoid air entering
power steering pump assembly.
4. If bubbles occur in steering fluid reservoir, perform bleeding procedures. Check that level is between
"MAX" and "MIN" marks when there are no bubbles in fluid reservoir and fluid level does not change any
longer.
WARNING
If steering fluid sprays on your skin, immediately wash it off with water.
It is harmful to your skin, if contacting with power steering fluid for a long time.
Steering wheel should not be in the limit position for more than 5 seconds.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Wasted power steering fluid should be handled according to local environmental regulations.
RT21290030
CAUTION
DO NOT apply foaming or expired steering fluid to vehicle. Otherwise it may damage the power steering
pump assembly.
WARNING
If steering fluid sprays on your skin, immediately wash it off with water.
It is harmful to your skin, if contacting with power steering fluid for a long time.

Bleeding Procedures
It is necessary to perform the bleeding procedures when bubbles occur in steering fluid reservoir assembly
and fluid has emulsified or there is excessive noise in power steering pump assembly.
Bleeding procedures are as follows:
1. Open the steering fluid reservoir cap.
2. Raise vehicle with a lifter (with front wheels off ground).
3. Start engine (idling) and turn steering wheel left and right to the limit positions (do not stay at the limit
positions more than 2 seconds). Repeat several times to fully bleed air in system from the reservoir.
Observe the fluid level of fluid reservoir during bleeding. If fluid level drops below "MIN" mark, add steering
fluid to proper level in time.
4. After repeatedly turning the steering wheel to the limit positions several times, center the steering wheel,
run engine at idle for 3 or 5 minutes and observe whether there are still bubbles in fluid reservoir. If there
are still bubbles, perform above procedures again until no bubbles are bled. If there are still problems,
perform steering system inspection.
