2004 NISSAN TERRANO radiator

Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper
servicing. These precautions are not described in each indi-
vidual section.
1. Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time with-out proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any inflammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
inflammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refriger-
ant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be
sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazard-
ous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
2. Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting and towing
before working on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
3. When removing a heavy component such as the engine or transaxle/transmission, take care not to lose your balance and
drop it. Also, do not allow it to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
4. Before starting repairs which do not require battery power, always turn off the ignition switch, then disconnect the ground
cable from the battery to prevent accidental short circuit.
5. To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail pipe and muffler. Do
not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.

Engine Coolant Mixture Ratio
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.
CAUTION:
IWhen adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only
Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N) or equivalent.
Because L2N is premixed type coolant (Mixture ratio 50%).
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system.
I When checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant
hydrometer, use the chart below to correct your hydrometer
reading (specific gravity) according to coolant temperature.
