BLEEDING THE SYSTEM: Ensure that the reservoir is full of Premium Power Steering Fluid (E6AZ-19582-AA) or equivalent. Raise and safely support the front wheels of the vehicle. Start the engine. Turn the steering wheel slowly from lock-to-lock to expel air trapped in the system. Continue to turn the steering wheel until no more air bubbles are visible in the reservoir. Confirm that the oil is not milky and that the fluid level is correct. NOTE: An abrupt rise in the fluid level after stopping the engine is a sign of incomplete bleeding. If this occurs, repeat the bleeding procedure.
