When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to
use only Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or
equivalent in its quality with the proper mix-
ture ratio. Examples of the mixture ratio of
coolant and water are shown below:

The use of other types of coolant solutions 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
j2 , add coolant up to the “MAX” level j1.
For petrol engines: 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
j1.
If the cooling system frequently requires coolant,
have it checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop if
replacement is required.
Major engine cooling system repair should be per-
formed by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The service procedures can be found in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual.
When checking or replacement is required, NISSAN
recommends contacting a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop for servicing. Improper servicing can
result in reduced heater performance and engine
overheating.
WARNING
•
To avoid being scalded, never change the
coolant when the engine is hot.
•
Never remove the radiator cap (where fitted)
or 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 reach of children and
pets.
