Location of the Power Steering Fluid Reservoir on a Kia Picanto

Model: Kia Picanto 2A, MK 1 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we show where the reservoir for the power steering fluid is located on a Kia Picanto. Fortunately, it is easily accessible on the left side of the engine bay when viewed from the front of the vehicle. The most common power steering oil is the one with Dexron specification, which is dark red, but do not forget other specifications like CHF (especially used by German brands). Its main properties include: reducing wear on mechanical components, resistance to oxidation, temperature stabilisation, and the ability to maintain fluidity even at low temperatures.
