There is none. A reservoir is to hold fluid. The Kizashi uses an electric power steering system, not a traditional hydraulic one. Hydraulic systems use fluid. Hence, there is no PS pump, PS fluid reservoir, or PS fluid in the Kizashi. The electric power steering is maintenance-free.

Fun tidbit: Suzuki is the automaker that first introduced Electric Power Steering in a consumer vehicle. It was the 1988 Suzuki Cervo which is the predecessor to the Alto.

I'll let someone who has a CVT model or the owner's manual answer that. I have neither.
