2014 NISSAN QASHQAI transmission fluid

WARNING
•Never remove the engine coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure fluid es-
caping from the engine coolant reservoir. Wait
until the engine and radiator have cooled
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 and extended life en-
gine coolant. The high quality engine coolant con-
tains the specific solutions effective for the anti-cor-
rosion and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, addi-
tional 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 en-
gine, transmission and/or cooling system.
•When adding or replacing engine coolant, be
sure to use Genuine NISSAN engine coolant
or equivalent.
•The use of other types of engine coolant may
damage the engine cooling system.
•The engine coolant reservoir tank is equipped
with a pressure cap, use a Genuine NISSAN
cap or its equivalent when replacement is re-
quired.
CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
LEVEL
Check the coolant level in the reservoir when the
engine is cold. If the coolant level is below MINj2,
add coolant up to the MAXj1 level.
CAUTION
If the cooling system frequently requires coolant,
have it checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
CAUTION
•Major cooling system repairs should be per-
formed by a NISSAN dealer or qualified work-
shop. The service procedures can be found in
the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.
•When checking or replacement is required,
NISSAN recommends contacting a NISSAN
dealer or qualified workshop for servicing.
•Improper servicing or engine coolant change
can result in reduced heater performance and
engine overheating.
WARNING
•To avoid the danger of being scalded, never
change the coolant when the engine is hot.
•Avoid direct skin contact with used coolant. If
skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner and plenty of water as
soon as possible.
•Keep coolant out of reach of children and
pets.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.

DRAINING WATER
Drain the water from the fuel filter. Contact a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.:
BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
There is no need to perform any special operation to
bleed air from the system.
NISSAN Blue Citizenship
Fuel bled from the fuel filter must not be poured into
the ground, canals, rivers, etc. It should be disposed
of at a rubbish tip having proper facilities. Check
your local regulations.When checking or replacement is required, NISSAN
recommends contacting a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop for servicing.
CAUTION
•Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS3*. Do
not mix with other fluids.
•Using transmission fluid other than Genuine
NISSAN CVT Fluid NS3* will damage the
XTRONIC transmission, which is not covered
by the warranty.
*: For details, contact a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
CHECKING PARKING BRAKE
Periodically check the holding ability of the parking
brake by parking on a steep hill and restraining the
vehicle by using only the parking brake. If it does not
hold satisfactorily, see a NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
If the brake pedal suddenly goes down further than
normal, the pedal feels “spongy” or the vehicle
seems to take longer to stop, see a NISSAN dealer
or qualified workshop.
WARNING
See a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for a
brake system check if the brake pedal height
does not return to normal.

*2: Use Genuine NISSAN engine coolant, or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminium 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.Contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop for more information regarding the coolant type and capacity.
*3:Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3. Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-3 will damage the CVT, which is not covered by the war-
ranty.
