Hicas Fluid

[JETGTR]

Just wondering if small bottle is hicas fluid as shown in pic ?? and if so wat fluid does it use ?

cheers

nah mate, thats clutch fluid. use brake fluid in it.

HICAS takes its fluid from the powersteering reservior.

also just noticed on your pic, what you have labeled as powersteering, is actually your brake fluid.

your powersteering reservior is on the passenger side just infront of the suspension tower.

Don't forget to check the power steering fluid bottle in the rear inside the boot.

You are joking, right?

[RBLUV]

no he's not

He has to be. The reservoir is for ATTESSA, not HICAS or P/S.

LOL!

One time my HICAS light showed up and I checked the front powersteering bottle and it was full. My mechanic told me to check the back (I didn't know it had one at the back). So I had a look and it was low, I topped it up and the light never came on again.

HICAS (High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension)

Earlier HICAS versions used hydraulics to steer the rear wheels.

The hydraulic system was powered by the power steering pump and used speed sensors to determine how much and in which direction to steer the rear wheels.

ATTESA-ETS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All-Terrain Electronic Torque Split)

Its more about controlling the Torque in the AWD System.

yeah, that is what they mean, but the reservoir in the boot is for attesa. HICAS is fed only from the powersteering reservior, and thats only in the 32's, 33 onwards use an electric actuator.
