CHECKING INVERTER COOLANT
LEVEL
Check the coolant levelin the reservoir
when the engine and inverter are cold.
The coolant level should be between the
MIN level
B, add coolant to the MAX level
A.
If the inverter cooling system frequently
requires coolant, have it checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
CHANGING INVERTER COOLANT
It is recommended that major cooling sys-
tem repairs be done by a NISSAN dealer.
The service procedure can be found in the
NISSAN Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in inverter
overheating.
WARNING
∙ To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the coolant when the
inverter is hot.
∙ Never remove the cap when the in- verter is hot. Serious burns could be
caused by high pressure fluid escap-
ing from the inverter coolant
reservoir.
∙ 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 prop-
erly. Check your local regulations.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Start the hybrid system and let it idle until it reaches operating temperature.
3. Turn off the hybrid system. Wait more
than 10 minutes for the oil to drain
back into the oil pan.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Reinsert it all the way.
