ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality, year-round, anti-freeze coolant solution. The anti-freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors, therefore additional cooling system additives are not necessary. 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water. The use of other types of coolant solutions may damage the engine cooling system. Outside temperature down to 8F −30 8C −35 50% Demineralized water or distilled water 50% 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" in the "6. In case of emergency" section of this manual. The radiator is equipped with a pressure type radiator cap. To prevent engine damage, use only a genuine NISSAN radiator cap. Anti-freeze SDI2173 CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL Check the coolant level in the reservoir when the engine is cold. If the coolant level is below 2 the MIN level * , open the reservoir cap and 1 add coolant up 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 1 it to the reservoir up to the MAX level * . If the cooling system frequently requires coolant, have it checked by a NISSAN dealer. .

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a high-quality, year-round, anti-freeze cool-
ant solution. The anti-freeze solution contains
rust and corrosion inhibitors, therefore additional
cooling system additives are not necessary.
WARNING
.
Never remove the radiator or cool-
ant 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 VEHI-
CLE OVERHEATS” in the “6. In case
of emergency” section of this man-
ual.
.
The
radiator
is
equipped
with
a
pressure type radiator cap. To pre-
vent
engine
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 or equiva-
lent with the proper mixture ratio of
50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized
or
distilled
water.
The
use
of
other
types of coolant solutions may damage
the engine cooling system.
