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.

This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue). The life expectancy of
the

factory-fill

coolant

is

105,000

miles

(168,000 km) or 7 years. Mixing any other type of

coolant or the use of non-distilled water will re-
duce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
Refer to the NISSAN Service and Maintenance
Guide for more details.

The engine coolant reservoir is a pressur-
ized tank. When installing the cap, tighten
it until a clicking sound is heard.

If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked by a NISSAN
dealer.

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 reduced
heater performance and engine overheat-
ing.

WARNING

To avoid the danger of being scalded,

never change the coolant when the en-
gine is hot.

Never remove the radiator or engine

coolant reservoir cap when the engine
is hot. Serious burns could be caused
by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.

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.
