The Chrysler Sebring went into production in 1995 as a mid-size sedan or convertible. While the Sebring has gone through several makeovers from the first models to present production, most changes have concentrated on the interior design and general features. The steering and drive train have been updated in the Sebring convertible since 2001, but the power steering fluid maintenance remains the same for all years and types.
Check the power steering fluid level in your Chrysler Sebring once every 15,000 miles or sooner if you notice problems with your steering system or notice red fluid leaking from under your hood.
Park your Sebring on a flat surface and turn off the engine before checking power steering fluid level. If the engine is warm, allow it to cool off before working under the hood. Checking your power steering fluid level or other fluid levels on an incline can artificially change fluid levels and result in a misreading.
Locate the power-steering fluid reservoir in the engine department labeled "Power Steering Fluid." Remove the cap of the reservoir to check the fluid level.
Maintain the fluid level above the low level mark. Add Chrysler power-steering fluid if necessary, making sure to not exceed the maximum fluid level.
Check the hoses and connectors around the power-steering fluid reservoir for leaks, visible as breaks or cracks in the hose or as wet spots on the reservoir, hoses or surrounding area.
