WARNING:
. Never remove the radiator or coolant reser-
voir cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high-pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until
the engine and radiator cool down.
. Engine coolant is poisonous and should be
stored carefully in marked containers out of
the reach of children.
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.
CAUTION:
. Never use any cooling system additives such
as radiator sealer. Additives may clog the
cooling system and cause damage to the
engine, transmission and/or cooling system.
. When adding or replacing coolant, be sure
to use only Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant
or equivalent in its quality with the proper
mixture ratio. Examples of the mixture ratio
of coolant and water are shown i n the
following table:
