The much derided Mr. Haynes' manual says, and I quote,
1. Park the vehicle on level ground
2. Set the steering straight ahead
3. The engine must be running

The power steering reservoir is on the right hand side of the engine compartment.
If the fluid is below the 'MIN' mark, top up with the specified fluid.
Before you ask, it says here...Power steering fluid Dextron type ATF :ok
