CHANGING INVERTER COOLANT

A NISSAN dealer can change the inverter cool-
ant. The service procedure can be found in the
NISSAN Service Manual.

Improper servicing can result in inverter
overheating.

WARNING

To avoid the danger of being scalded,

never change the coolant when the in-
verter is hot.

Never remove the cap when the inverter

is hot. Serious burns could be caused
by high pressure fluid escaping from
the inverter coolant reservoir.

Avoid direct skin contact with used

coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.

Keep coolant out of the reach of chil-

dren and pets.

Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply

the parking brake.

2. Start the vehicle and let it idle until it reaches

operating temperature.

3. Turn off the vehicle. Wait more than 10

minutes for the oil to drain back into
the oil pan.

4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Re-

insert it all the way.

5. Remove the dipstick again and check the oil

level. It should be between the H (High) and
L (Low) marks

B

. This is the normal oper-

ating oil level range. If the oil level is below
the L (Low) mark

A

, remove the oil filler cap

and pour recommended oil through the
opening. Do not overfill

C

.

6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.

It is normal to add some oil between oil
maintenance

intervals

or

during

the

break-in period, depending on the severity
of operating conditions.
