Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Open the hood.
2. Look for a small, rectangular container with a dipstick (similar to the engine oil dipstick). It's usually located near the firewall, on the driver's side of the engine compartment.
3. The reservoir will often have markings or labels indicating "Power Steering Fluid" or "PS Fluid".
Important Notes:
* Always check your owner's manual for specific instructions for your year and model.
* Use the correct type of power steering fluid. The manual will tell you the recommended type. Using the wrong fluid can damage your power steering system.
* Don't overfill the reservoir. There will be a "Full" mark on the dipstick.
* If the fluid is low, there might be a leak. It's essential to address the leak before topping off the fluid.
If you're unsure about anything, it's always best to consult a qualified mechanic.
