23 Maintenance Procedures
23.9 Check Power Steering Oil Level & Leak Check
The power steering reservoir is in the rear of the engine bay, on the
driver’s side. The fluid level in the reservoir should be checked on a
level surface with the engine OFF to prevent injury from moving
parts and to ensure accurate fluid level reading. Use only the power
steering fluids recommended to help avoid damage to the power
steering system. Replacing the power steering fluid should always
be done by a ROXOR authorized dealer.
Maintenance Interval – Check regularly, replace power steering fluid
every 300 hours, 36 months, 9,000 miles (15,000 Km)

steering wheel lock (left) to lock (right) a couple of times.
5. Turn the engine off.

8. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, remember to
replace the cap and repeat steps 2 through 4.
9. Continue to follow these steps until the level reaches the correct
operating range.
10. Always check for leaks if the fluid level cannot be maintained.
Driving the ROXOR with power steering fluid below the
minimum mark will damage the steering system which would void all
of your warranty coverage.
Clean spillage from all exposed surfaces with a clean
cloth to prevent surface damage.
