Park on level ground
Set steering wheel straight ahead
The engine should be turned OFF
Check the level when the fluid is COLD. (You haven't turned the wheel for some time I guess) I usually do the check early in the morning so everything is cold.
When the fluid is COLD it should be BETWEEN the MIN and MAX lines.
When you check it hot it will be around the MAX line, so to be accurate check it COLD. If it is below the MIN line when COLD you may need to add some fluid.
Just remember check it COLD and make the decision to add ONLY when COLD.
One more thing, after turning the engine off, prior to checking the level DON'T TURN THE WHEEL. It will give a false reading.
