coolant temperature INFINITI QX30 2017 User Guide

WARNING
•To avoid being scalded, never change the
coolant when the engine is hot.
•Never remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine 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 pos-
sible.
•Keep coolant out of reach of children and
pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine and let it idle until it reaches the normal operating temperature.
3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than 10 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil
pan.
4. Remove the dipstick
1and wipe it clean.
Reinsert it all the way.
5. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be within the range
2and3.
If the oil level is below
3, remove the oil
filler cap and pour the recommended oil into
the opening. Do not overfill
2. It is normal to add some oil between oil mainte-
nance intervals or during the break-in period,
depending on the severity of operating condi-
tions.
CAUTION
The oil level should be checked regularly. Op-
erating the engine with an insufficient amount
of oil can damage the engine, and such dam-
age is not covered by the warranty.
CHANGING ENGINE OIL
WARNING
•Prolonged and repeated contact with used
engine oil may cause skin cancer.
•Try to avoid direct skin contact with used
oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly
with soap or hand cleaner and plenty of wa-
ter as soon as possible.
•Keep used engine oil out of reach of
children.
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself. The engine oil
may be hot.

Parking brake*:
Check the parking brake operation regularly.
Also make sure that the vehicle is held securely
on a fairly steep hill when only the parking
brake is applied. If the parking brake needs
adjustment, it is recommended you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
Seats
:
Check seat position controls such as seat ad-
justers, seatback recliner, etc. to ensure they
operate smoothly and that all latches lock
securely in every position. Check that the head
restraints move up and down smoothly and that
the locks (if so equipped) hold securely in all
latched positions.
Seat belts
:
Check that all parts of the seat belt system (for
example, buckles, anchors, adjusters and re-
tractors) operate properly and smoothly, and
are installed securely. Check the belt webbing
for cuts, fraying, wear or damage.
Steering wheel
:
Check for changes in the steering condition,
such as excessive free play, hard steering or
strange noises.Warning lights and chimes
:
Make sure that all warning lights and chimes
are operating properly.
Windshield defroster
:
Check that the air comes out of the defroster
outlets properly and in good quantity when
operating the heater or air conditioner.
Windshield wiper and washer*
:
Check that the wipers and washer operate
properly and that the wipers do not streak.
Under the hood and vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked periodically (for example, each time
you check the engine oil or refuel).
Battery*
:
Except for maintenance free battery, check the
fluid level in each cell. It should be between the
“UPPER” and “LOWER” lines. Vehicles operated
in high temperatures or under severe condi-
tions require frequent checks of the battery
fluid level.
NOTE
Care should be taken to avoid situations that can
lead to potential battery discharge and potential
no-start conditions such as:
1. Installation or extended use of electronic ac-
cessories that consume battery power when
the engine is not running (Phone chargers,
GPS, DVD players, etc.)
2. Vehicle is not driven regularly and/or only driven short distances.
In these cases, the battery may need to be
charged to maintain battery health.
Brake fluid level*
:
Make sure that the brake fluid level is between
the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the reservoir.
Coolant level*
:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belt(s)*
:
Make sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked
or oily.
Engine oil level*
:
Check the level after parking the vehicle on a
level spot and turning off the engine. Wait more
than 15 minutes for the oil to drain back into the
oil pan.
