CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Check the coolant level in the reservoir
when the engine is cold. If the coolant
level is below the MIN level
, open the
reservoir cap and add coolant up to the
MAX level
.
Tighten the cap securely after adding
engine coolant.
If the cooling system frequently re-
quires coolant, have it checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
A NISSAN dealer can change the engine
coolant. The service procedure can be
found in the NISSAN Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in re-
duced heater performance and engine
overheating.
WARNING
. To avoid being scalded, never
change the coolant when the
engine is hot.
. Never remove the radiator or
coolant reservoir cap when the
engine is hot. Serious burns could
be caused by high pressure fluid
escaping from the radiator or
coolant reservoir.
. Avoid direct skin contact with
used coolant. If skin contact is
made, wash thoroughly with soap
or hand cleaner as soon as pos-
sible.
. Keep coolant out of the reach of
children and pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of
properly. Check your local regulations.
The intercooler cooling system is filled at
the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of
50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-
freeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to
provide year-round anti-freeze and cool-
ant protection. The antifreeze solution
contains rust and corrosion inhibitors.
Additional intercooler cooling system ad-
ditives are not necessary.
WARNING
. Never remove the radiator or
coolant reservoir cap when the
engine is hot. Wait until the en-
gine cools down. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator
or coolant reservoir.
. The coolant reservoir is equipped
with a pressure type coolant re-
servoir cap. To prevent engine
and intercooler damage, use only
a genuine NISSAN coolant reser-
voir cap.
