  1. Fill fluid reservoir and let settle for at least 2 minutes. Start engine (DO NOT turn steering wheel) and let idle for a few seconds. Turn engine off. Add fluid if necessary. Repeat procedure until fluid level remains constant after running engine.
  2. Raise and support front of vehicle. Start engine and turn steering wheel slowly to right and left, lightly contacting wheel stops. Add fluid if necessary. Lower vehicle, turn steering wheel lock-to-lock 2-3 times and return to straight-ahead position. Turn engine off. Check fluid level and fill if necessary.
