DDifficulty 3/5

On a bus with hydraulic power steering and a reservoir marked MIN and MAX, should you check that fluid level?

Correct answer

Yes, and check that the level is between the minimum and maximum marks.

Yes. Periodically check hydraulic steering fluid according to the manufacturer’s procedure, including its specified temperature and vehicle-position conditions. The level must remain within its minimum and maximum marks; do not fill until overflowing or add an unspecified fluid. Do not wait for unusually heavy steering before checking. Low level or leaks need investigation and repair. This fluid belongs to the steering system, not the brake circuit; the question also excludes electric steering without a hydraulic reservoir.
