ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

The use of other types of engine coolant may

damage your cooling system.

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory

with a high-quality, year-round and extended life

engine coolant The high quality engine coolant

contains the specific solutions effective for the

anti-corrosion and the anti-freeze function.

Therefore, additional cooling system additives

are not necessary.

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT

LEVEL

•

To avoid the danger of being scalded,

never change the coolant when the en- .

gine is hot.

Open the radiator cap.

With coolant reservoir

Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank

when the engine is cold. If the coolant level is

below MIN, add coolant to the MAX level. If the

reservoir tank is empty, checkthe coolant level in

the radiatorwhen the engine iscold. Ifthere is

insufficient coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator

(upper engine coolant reservoir on ZD30DDTi,

TD42Ti and TB48DE - Type B engines) with

NISSAN Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent

up to the filler opening ahd also add it to the

reservoir tank up to the MAX level.

Never remove the radiator cap when the

engine is hot. Serious burns could be

caused by high pressure fluid escaping

from the radiator.
