Check the fluid level in the reservoir. Remove the
cap that is attached with a gauge inside.
The fluid level should be checked using the front
side of the gauge marked ªHOTº (
*1: HOT
MIN.,
*2: HOT MAX.) at fluid temperatures of
122 to 1768F (50 to 808C) or using the reverse
side of the gauge marked ªCOLDº (
*3: COLD
MIN.,
*4: COLD MAX.) at fluid temperatures of
32 to 868F (0 to 308C) .
If the fluid is below the MIN line, add Genuine
NISSAN PSF or equivalent. Remove the cap
and fill through the opening.
