fluid specification NISSAN ARMADA 2018 Owner´s Manual

CAUTION
.Do not overfill.
. Use Genuine NISSAN PSF or
equivalent. For further brake fluid specification infor-
mation, see “Capacities and recom-
mended fluids/lubricants” (P.10-2).
WARNING
.
Use only new fluid from a sealed
container. Old, inferior or con-
taminated fluid may damage the
brake system. The use of impro-
per fluids can damage the brake
system and affect the vehicle’s
stopping ability.
. Be sure to clean the filler cap
before removing.
. Brake fluid is poisonous and
should be stored carefully in
marked containers out of the
reach of children.
CAUTION
.Do not add brake fluid with the
ignition switch in the ON position
or the engine running. Doing so
could make the brake fluid over-
fill when the ignition switch is
turned off. .
Do not spill the fluid on painted
surfaces. This will damage the
paint. If fluid is spilled, wash the
surface with water.

towing. For example, towing a heavy
trailer in high outside temperatures on
graded roads can affect engine perfor-
mance and cause overheating. The trans-
mission high fluid temperature and
engine protection mode, which helps
reduce the chance of transmission and
engine damage, could activate and auto-
matically decrease engine power. Vehicle
speed may decrease under high load.
Plan your trip carefully to account for
trailer and vehicle load, weather and road
conditions.
WARNING
Overheating can result in reduced
engine power and vehicle speed.
The reduced speed may be lower
than other traffic, which could in-
crease the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving. If the
vehicle cannot maintain a safe driv-
ing speed, pull to the side of the road
in a safe area. Allow the engine to
cool and return to normal operation.
See “If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-
14).
CAUTION
Vehicle damage resulting from im-
proper towing procedures is not
covered by NISSAN warranties.
STI0542
Tongue load
When using a weight carrying or a weight
distributing hitch, keep the tongue load
between 10 to 15% of the total trailer load
or use the trailer tongue load specified by
the trailer manufacturer. The tongue load
must be within the maximum tongue
load limits shown in the following “Towing
Load/Specification” chart. If the tongue
load becomes excessive, rearrange cargo
to allow for proper tongue load.
