CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Check the coolant levelin the reservoir when
the engine is running and after it reaches
normal operating temperature. If the coolant
level is below the MIN level
*2, add coolant up
to the MAX level
*1. If the reservoir is empty,
check the coolant level in the radiator when
the engine is cold. If there is insufficient
coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator with
coolant up to the radiator filler cap above the
radiator upper hose opening and also add it to
the reservoir up to the MAX level
*1. Put on the
filler cap above the radiator upper hose and with
the reservoir cap open, start the engine. Run the
engine until it reaches normal operating tem- perature. Add coolant up to the MAX level
*1.
Tighten the cap securely after adding engine
coolant.
If the cooling system requires coolant
frequently, have it checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
Major cooling system repairs should be per-
formed by a NISSAN dealer. The service
procedures can be found in the appropriate
NISSAN Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheat-
ing.
