REDUCTION GEAR FLUID
For additional information on the location of the
engine coolant reservoir, refer to “Motor com-
partment check locations” in this section.
When checking or replacement is required, we
recommend a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
servicing.
•
•
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.
If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked by a NISSAN cer-
tified LEAF dealer.
CAUTION
•
•
Use only Genuine NISSAN Matic S
ATF. Do not mix with other fluids.
Using reduction gear fluid other than
Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF will
cause deterioration in driveability and
reduction gear durability, and may
damage the reduction gear, which is
not covered by the NISSAN new ve-
hicle limited warranty.
Coolant must be disposed of properly. Check
your local regulations.
CHANGING COOLANT
Major cooling system repairs should be per-
formed by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. The
service procedures can be found in the appropri-
ate NISSAN Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance.
WARNING
•
•
To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never change the coolant when the
motor compartment is hot.
Never remove the coolant tank cap
when the motor compartment is hot.
Serious burns could be caused by
high-pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator.
