CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-257,
"ASSEMBLY" .
2. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
3. Remove air relief plug (1) on heater hose.
4. Fill thermostat housing and reservoir tank to specified level.
Refill engine coolant up to filler neck of thermostat housing.
Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck slowly of less than 2 (2-1/8 US qt, 1-3/4
Imp qt) a minute to allow air in system to escape.
Use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant or equivalent mixed with water (distilled or
demineralized). Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
When engine coolant overflows air relief hole on heater hose,
install air relief plug.
5. Install radiator cap.
6. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000
rpm.
Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat engine.
7. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).
Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
If necessary, refill engine coolant up to filler neck of thermostat housing.
8. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 7 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no longer
drops.
10. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.Radiator drain plug:

11. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.
Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
12. Repeat step 11 three times.
13. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 4 through 7 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank, and radiator drain plug.
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.
If water drain plugs on cylinder block are removed, close and tighten them. Refer to EM-257,
"ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove air relief plug (1) on heater hose.
3. Fill thermostat housing with water until water spills from the air relief hole, then close air relief plug. Fill
thermostat housing and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the system. Refer to CO-40, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.Radiator drain plug:

5. Disconnect water suction hose from water inlet.
6. Remove water inlet and thermostat.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble thermostat.
7. Remove intake manifolds (upper and lower). Refer to EM-179, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD" .
8. Disconnect radiator hose (upper) from thermostat housing.
9. Disconnect heater hoses from water outlet and heater pipe.
10. Remove thermostat housing, water outlet pipe, water connector, water control valve, water outlet and
heater pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble water control valve.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Make sure that valves both in thermostat and water control valve are completely closing at normal tempar-
ature.
Place a thread so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat
and water control valve. Immerse fully in a container filled with
water. Heat while stirring. (The example in the figure shows ther-
mostat.)
The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.
Continue heating. Check the maximum valve lift.
NOTE:
The maximum valve lift standard temperature for water control
valve is the reference value.
After checking the maximum valve lift, lower the water tempera-
ture and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values:
If the malfunctioning condition, when closing valve at normal temperature, or measured values are out of
the standard, replace thermostat and/or water control valve.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to spill engine coolant over engine room. Use rag to absorb engine coolant.
Thermostat and Water Control Valve
Install thermostat and water control valve with the whole circum-
ference of each flange part fit securely inside rubber ring. (The
example in the figure shows thermostat.)

Install thermostat with jiggle valve facing upwards. (The position
deviation may be within the range of ±10 degrees)
Install water control valve with the up-mark facing up and the
frame center part facing upwards. (The position deviation may
be within the range of ±10 degrees)
Water Outlet Pipe and Heater Pipe
First apply a neutral detergent to O-rings, then quickly insert the insertion parts of the water outlet pipe and
heater pipe into the installation holes.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check for leaks of engine coolant using radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) and radiator
cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-40, "
LEAK CHECK" .
Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.

COMPASS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Zone Variation Setting ProcedureNKS004F5
NOTE:
The zone setting is factory preset (“default” setting) to zone 8.
1. Press and hold the compass switch for 3 – 9 seconds.
2. The current zone setting appears on the compass display.
3. Find the current geographical location number in the Zone Varia-
tion Chart.
4. Select the new zone number. (Press the compass switch until
the new zone number appears on the compass display.)
5. After select the new zone number, the compass display will
automatically shows a direction within a few seconds.
6. Preform the following Calibration Procedure for more accurate
indications.
Calibration ProcedureNKS004F6
NOTE:
The compass calibrates itself under normal driving conditions. However, occasional circumstances may cause
the compass to operate inaccurately. Example: Driving from rural (wide open) areas to crowded city areas, or
if an aftermarket (i.e., non original equipment) antenna with a magnetic base is attached to the vehicle. Cali-
brate the mirror compass if the display shows only one direction or a limited number of directions.
NOTE:
If “magnetic hats” are used in the dealership for vehicle identification, remove the hat from the vehicle
before performing the following steps. Do NOT put the hat back on the vehicle after the procedure is com-
pleted.
Drive the vehicle to an open level area; away from large metallic objects, structures, and overhead power
lines.
Turn off “non-essential” electrical accessories (rear window defrost, heater/air conditioning, wipers) and
close the doors.
1. Verify the correct compass zone setting for the geographical location. Refer to DI-104, "
Zone Variation
Setting Procedure" .
2. Press and hold the compass switch for more than 9 seconds.
3. “C” is displayed on the compass display, when calibration starts.
4. Drive slowly [less than 8 km/h (5 mph)] in a circle until the “C / CAL” is replaced with primary headings (N,
NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW).
NOTE:
This will require driving at least 2 complete 360 degree circles; 3 complete circles may be required.
5. The compass calibration procedure is now complete. The compass should operate normally.
NOTE:
If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked,
repeat the calibration procedure.
