The engine cooling system is filled at the factory

with

Genuine

NISSAN

Long

Life

Antifreeze/Coolant to provide year-round anti-

freeze and coolant protection. The anti-freeze

solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors.

Additional engine cooling system additives are

not necessary.

WARNING

Never remove the radiator or coolant

reservoir cap when the engine is hot.

Wait until the engine and radiator cool

down. Serious burns could be caused

by high pressure fluid escaping from

the radiator. See precautions in “If your

vehicle overheats” found in the “In case

of emergency” section of this manual.

The radiator is equipped with a pres-

sure type radiator cap. To prevent en-

gine damage, use only a genuine

NISSAN radiator cap.

CAUTION

When adding or replacing coolant, be sure

to use only a Genuine NISSAN Long Life

Antifreeze/Coolant (green) or equivalent

with the proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-

freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled

water. The use of other types of coolant

solutions or coolant colors, such as or-

ange, may damage the engine cooling

system.

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, add coolant to the MAX level. If the

reservoir is empty, check the coolant level in the

radiator when the engine is cold. If there is

insufficient coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator

with coolant up to the filler opening and also add

it to the reservoir up to the MAX level.
If the cooling system frequently requires

coolant, have it checked by a NISSAN

dealer.
