*3: Do not mix automatic transmission fluid and gear oil.
*4: Never use API CG-4.
*5: Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within
the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may
not be covered by the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
MA-17
Checking Fluid Level and Leaks (Power
steering)
Check fluid level.
Fluid level can be checked when the fluid is either hot or cold.
CAUTION:
IDo not overfill.
IRecommended fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid
ªDEXRON
TMº type.
ICheck lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage,
loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
Greasing Steering Linkage
Apply multi-purpose grease to point shown in the illustration.
Ventilation Air Filter
FUNCTION
Air inside passenger compartment is kept clean at either recircula-
tion or fresh mode by installing ventilation air filter into cooling unit.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
IRemove glove box.
Refer to BT section.
ITake out ventilation air filter which is secured with one screw,
from cooling unit.
IReplace with new one and reinstall glove box.
