To warm up Power Steering fluid, you can start your vehicle and let it idle for a few minutes, allowing the engine heat to gradually warm the fluid. Alternatively, you can turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times while the car is stationary, which circulates the fluid and generates some warmth. Avoid overheating the fluid, as excessive heat can damage the steering components. If the fluid is extremely cold, consider using a heat gun or warm water on the reservoir (not directly on the fluid) to gently warm it.
you can use any type of power steering fluid, personally i use transmittion fluid as it is cheaper then power steering fluid only down side is it takes longer to warm up in the cold weather
It's probably normal, the power steering fluid need to warm up.
Power steering fluid or Automatic transmission fluid

facing engine (bonnet up) on right hand side near shock tower is BLACK reservoir with sensor wire in center of cap - this is power steering(white capped reservoir = brake )do not put brake fluid in power-steering or power-steering fluid in brake res. use power-steering fluid or auto trans fluid to top up
open the power-steering reservoir cap. generally it says "power-steering fluid" ... first open up the hood... and make sure you have the right type of fluid.

This vehicle has electronic steering assist and does not require power steering fluid. I had the same question so I looked it up in my manual and found this out.
