G240A01A-AATPOWER STEERING HOSESIt is suggested that you check the power
steering hose connections for fluid leak-
age at those intervals specified in the
vehicle maintenance schedule in Section
5.
The power steering hoses should be re-
placed if there is severe surface cracking,
pulling, scuffing or worn spots. Deteriora-
tion of the hose could cause premature
failure.
POWER STEERING FLUID
LEVELG230A01MC-AAT(If Installed)The power steering fluid level should be
checked regularly. To check the power
steering fluid level, be sure the engine is
"OFF", then check to make certain that the
power steering fluid level is between the
"MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the
fluid reservoir.NOTE:
o Grinding noise from the power steer-
ing pump may be heard immediately
after the engine is started in ex-
tremely cold conditions (below -4°F).
If the noise stops during warm up,
there is no abnormal function in the
system. It is due to a power steering
fluid characteristic in extremely cold
conditions.
o Do not start the engine when the
power steering oil reservoir is empty.
