Engine cooling system
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 anti-freeze and coolant protection. The antifreeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine 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.
See precautions in “If your vehicle
overheats” found in the “6. In case
of emergency” section of this manual.
• The radiator is equipped with a
pressure type radiator cap. To prevent
engine damage, use only a
genuine NISSAN radiator cap.
• If the engine was stopped soon
when the engine is hot, the cooling
fan may operate for approximately
10 minutes after the engine was
stopped to cool the components in
the engine compartment. When the
cooling fan is operating, be sure
that hands or other items do not get
caught in it.
CAUTION
• Never use any cooling system
additives
such as radiator sealer. Additives
may clog the cooling system
and cause damage 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 -348F
(-378C). 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 directions 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
antifreeze protection to -348F
(-378C). The use of other types of
coolant solutions other than Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/
Coolant (blue) or equivalent may
damage the engine cooling system.
• The life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant is 105,000 miles (168,000
km) or 7 years. Mixing any other
type of coolant other than Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(blue) , including Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(green), or the use of nondistilled
water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
Refer to the NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide for more details.
