The engine cooling system is filled at the factory

with a high-quality, year-round, antifreeze cool-

ant solution. The antifreeze solution contains rust

and corrosion inhibitors, therefore additional

cooling system additives are not necessary.

CAUTION

When adding or replacing coolant, be
sure to use only a Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze Coolant or equiva-
lent with the proper mixture ratio of 50%
antifreeze

and

50%

demineralized

water/distilled water. The use of other
types of coolant solutions may damage
your engine cooling system.

WARNING

¼ Never remove the radiator cap when

the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait
until the engine and radiator cool
down.

¼ See “If your vehicle overheats” in the

“6. In case of emergency” section.

¼ The radiator is equipped with a pres-

sure cap. To prevent engine damage,
use only a genuine NISSAN radiator
cap.

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT

LEVEL

Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank

when the engine is cold. If the coolant level is

below MIN, add coolant up to the MAX level. If

the reservoir tank is empty, add the coolant to

the reservoir tank up to the MAX level.
If the engine cooling system frequently

requires coolant, have it checked by your

NISSAN dealer.
