MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE — Power Steering
6. Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming, there should
not be any appreciable change in the oil level in the reservoir, when
the engine is started or stopped repeatedly.
7. Now the car is ready to be driven.
Final oil level should be upto 'Max' mark of reservoir.
WARNING
Do not allow fluid level to drop significantly or run out of the
reservoir during the above operation. This may induce air into the
system.
Severe damage could occur to the power steering pump due to
dry running (Running without sufficient oil and due to severe
cavitation on account of air entry due to low oil level). This could
lead to loss of power assistance, damage and failure of the power
steering system.
Do not start the engine without oil in the power steering system.
This will result in serious damage to the pump. In case of an
emergency, disconnect the pump drive belt and then start the
engine and drive slowly.
Always use recommended oil from sealed containers. Any
contaminated oil poured in the system will result in damage to the
pump and gear box.
Avoid mixing of different brands of oils.
