Additional Notes
- The Simca Ariane's power steering system holds 0.2 liter across both the Ariane-4 (1957-1963) and Ariane-8 (1957-1961) configurations, a notably small capacity consistent with a steering box design rather than a rack-and-pinion or full hydraulic pump reservoir setup.
- A steering box unit, as noted for both configurations, is a recirculating ball or worm-and-sector mechanism that typically requires only a modest fluid volume to lubricate internal components, which aligns with the 0.2 liter figure recorded here.
- Both the Ariane-4 and Ariane-8 share an identical 0.2 liter capacity under normal use conditions, indicating no variation in steering box fluid volume between the two engine variants despite their differing production spans.
