31. Liquid level control is carried out using marks on the side wall of the tank (see resist. illustration). It is necessary to illuminate the tank with a portable lamp from the opposite side of the marks or through the filler hole so that the height of the liquid level in the tank becomes visible. The level must be between the upper and lower marks. At «cold» liquid, its level should not fall below the lower mark.
Note: Depending on the configuration option, tanks of a different design can be installed on different models: a measuring probe with MIN and MAX marks can be built into the tank cover - the liquid level must reach the upper mark. Some covers are equipped with stops - these are cross-shaped plastic plates on the dipstick, designed to prevent splashing and leakage of fluid when driving on rough roads or with a large roll.
32. Try not to allow the liquid level to go beyond the lower limit of the allowable range.
33. If necessary, make an appropriate level adjustment by topping up the reservoir neck with the correct grade of hydraulic fluid.
34. If the need to adjust the fluid level occurs regularly and frequently, check for signs of leakage of the steering pump, rack and pinion housing, as well as all connecting lines of the hydraulic path of the system and their union connections.
