7.2.8.2 Power steering oil fluid lever inspection

1.

Place vehicle on horizontal position.

2. When engine stops, inspect oil level in oil
reservoir. Add fluid into the oil pan if necessary. The
temperature of the pre-heated oil is 75-80℃ (167-176
ºF). The liquid level shall be located between the
marks HOT MAX and HOT MIN. The temperature of
