CAUTION:
Mixing of oil types or using an unapproved oil may result in seal deterioration and leaks. A leak could ultimately result in fluid loss, which may result in loss of power assisted steering.
NOTE:
Make sure the fluid in the reservoir does not fall below the MIN mark, as air could enter the power steering system.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the steering wheel against the stops for more than three to five seconds.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the reservoir.
