CAUTION
●Overfilling your DEF tank can cause
damage to the tank.
● DEF will freeze below 12°F (-11°C) ;
however, your vehicle is equipped with
an automatic preheating system, which
allows the DEF system to operate be-
low 12°F (-11°C) . When the vehicle is not
in operation for an extended period of
time with temperatures at or below 12°F
(-11°C) , the DEF tank could freeze. In
this condition, adding DEF will not
change the gauge level and added DEF
will not reach the pump, because it will
sit on top of the frozen layer. Move the
vehicle to a warm location to thaw the
DEF completely for the gauge to read
accurately and allow new DEF to reach
the pump. If the tank is overfilled and
freezes, it could be damaged, therefore
do not overfill in sustained cold condi-
tions below 12°F (-11°C) .
● Do not put DEF into the fuel tank. This
can cause engine damage that is not
covered by your vehicle’s warranty. ●
Immediately wipe away any DEF that
has spilled on painted surfaces with wa-
ter and a damp cloth to prevent damage
to the paint.
Outside temperature
sustained at or below. Amount of DEF to
safely add after 25%
warning appears:
–22°F (-30°C) .25 gal
5°F (-15°C) .5 gal
Outside temperature
sustained at or above Amount of DEF to
safely add after 25%
warning appears:
13°F (-10.5°C) Safe to fill the tank
NOTE:
The blue DEF fill cap is located next the
diesel fuel-filler cap.
To remove the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) cap
A:
1. Turn the DEF cap counterclockwise to re- move. NOTE:
Apply DEF to the fill neck, prior to installing
and tightening the DEF fill cap.
To install the DEF cap:
1. Insert the DEF cap straight into the filler tube.
2. Turn the DEF cap clockwise until clicks are heard.
For additional information, refer to “Recom-
mended fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the
“Capacities and specifications” section of the
Titan Diesel Owner’s Manual.
4-4Fuel and Refueling

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and
50% water to provide year-round antifreeze and
coolant protection. The antifreeze solution con-
tains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional en-
gine cooling system additives are not necessary.
WARNING
●Never remove the radiator or coolant
reservoir cap when the engine is hot.
Wait until the engine and radiator cool
down. Serious burns could be caused
by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator. For additional information
on precautions, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency” section of this manual.
● The radiator is equipped with a pres-
sure type radiator cap. To prevent en-
gine damage, use only a Genuine
NISSAN radiator cap.
CAUTION
● Never use any cooling system additives
such as radiator sealer. Additives may
clog the cooling system and cause dam-
age to the engine, transmission and/or
cooling system.
● When adding or replacing coolant, be
sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or
equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted
to provide antifreeze protection to -34°
F (-37° C) . If additional freeze protection
is needed due to weather where you
operate your vehicle, add Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(blue) concentrate following the direc-
tions on the container. If an equivalent
coolant other than Genuine NISSAN
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is
used, follow the coolant manufacturer’s
instructions to maintain minimum anti-
freeze protection to -34° F (-37° C) . The
use of other types of coolant solutions
other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent
may cause severe engine damage. ●
The life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant is 45,000 miles (78,000 km) or
3 years. Mixing any other type of cool-
ant other than Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) , includ-
ing Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (green) , or the use
of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-fill cool-
ant. For additional information, refer to
the “Titan Owner’s Manual.”
● Use Nitrite Free Coolant or equivalent.
The use of coolant containing Nitrites,
could cause severe engine damage.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
Do-it-yourself6-3

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT
LEVEL
Check the coolant levelin the reservoir when
the engine is cold. If the coolant level is below
the MIN level
B, add coolant to the MAX level
A. 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 filler opening and
also add it to the reservoir up to the MAX level
A. This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) . The life expectancy of
the factory-fill coolant is 45,000 miles
(78,000 km) or 3 years. Mixing any other type of
coolant or the use of non-distilled water will re-
duce the life expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
For additional information, refer to the “Titan
Owners’s Manual”.
If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.
For additional information on the location of the
engine coolant reservoir, refer to “Engine com-
partment check locations” in this section.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT
A NISSAN dealer can change the engine coolant.
The service procedure can be found in the
NISSAN Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheat-
ing.
WARNING
●
To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never change the coolant when the en-
gine is hot.
● Never remove the radiator or engine
coolant reservoir cap when the engine
is hot. Serious burns could be caused by
high pressure fluid escaping from the
radiator.
● Avoid direct skin contact with used
coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
● Keep coolant out of the reach of chil-
dren and pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.
