Power Steering maintenance

Brought car to dealer for oil change. Of course I was ready to hear all of what was to be found with inspection. I'm at approximately 45k.
Service rep says time to flush power steering fluid or replace.
I find no reference of power steering maintenance in manual.
Anyone care to enlighten me?
Thanks.

Yeah the power steering on this car has one maintenance that's needed:

Drive until the wheel lights up in the gauge cluster and it won't work unless you turn off key and restart.
Spend $$$$ on the new unit.
Drive more.

Maybe she said tranny or brake flush? I was too distracted thinking what is she gonna hit me with?
I hear ya. I'd do it myself but I'm not at the point I want to deal with disposal. Getting there though.

It's in the owners' manual, but I don't have that with me right now. I may be wrong, but I think that the 30K service is supposed to include a brake system flush and AT fluid/filter change.
