Liquid level in the amplifier of steering can be checked in a cold state or heated at operation (" 50 °C). It is offered to check liquid level in the amplifier of steering in a cold state.

On the car which was not operated at the switched-off engine establish forward wheels for the movement directly forward.
PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Unscrew a cover from a tank of the amplifier of steering.
2. Wipe with pure rags the probe which is in the lower part of a cover.

4. Check the liquid level which has to be about MIN tag (see rice. The probe for measurement of level of liquid in the amplifier of steering). A liquid level tolerance on the probe from MIN tag ± 2 mm.
If necessary add fresh liquid.
Do not allow a state at which the tank of the amplifier of steering will be empty.
5. Screw up a cover on a tank of the amplifier of steering.
6. Make a control trip at which liquid of the amplifier of steering will get warm up to the temperature about 50 °C. Check the liquid level which has to be between tags of MIN and MAX.
