1. Brake the vehicle with the parking brake and set the wheel chocks (shoes) under the rear wheels.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle and place it on jack stands so that the front wheels are off the ground. If you have a lift, you can raise the entire vehicle.
3. Fill the working fluid into the hydraulic booster system up to the mark «MAX» (see «Checking the level and topping up the working fluid in the power steering reservoir»).
4. Without starting the engine, turn the steering wheel five or six times to the left and right until it stops.
5. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel all the way to one side. Do not increase engine speed above idle.
WARNING: Do not hold the steering wheel in the full position for more than five seconds.
6. Turn the steering wheel all the way in the opposite direction.
7. Return the steering wheel to the middle position and turn off the engine.
8. Check the level of the working fluid in the hydraulic booster reservoir and add fluid if necessary.
NOTE: The level of the working fluid in the tank when the engine is warm should not be above the mark «MAX», and on a cold one - not below the mark «MIN».
9. Repeat steps 4-7 until the fluid level in the reservoir stops dropping when the steering wheel is turned and air bubbles no longer appear in the fluid.
10. Add the required amount of working fluid. Do not overfill liquid above the mark «MAX».
11. Lower the front wheels to the ground. Start the engine and make several full turns of the steering wheel from one end to the other. Make sure that the difference in fluid levels in the tank when turning the steering wheel left and right is negligible. Make sure that the difference between the level of the working fluid when the engine is running and the level after the engine is stopped is within 5 mm. If the difference in levels has reached 5 mm or more, it means that the air has not been completely removed from the system, so the pumping should be repeated.
12. Reinstall the reservoir cap and wipe off any fluid spills.
