CHECKING COOLANT LEVEL
Check the coolant levelin the reservoir when
the high voltage parts are cold. If the coolant
level is below the MIN level
*2, open the
reservoir cap and add coolant up to the MAX
level
*1. If the reservoir is empty, check the
coolant level in the coolant tank when the high
voltage parts are cold. If there is insufficient
coolant in the coolant tank, fill the coolant tank
with coolant up to the reservoir cap opening and
also add it to the reservoir up to the MAX level
*1.
Tighten the cap securely after adding coolant. If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked by a NISSAN
certified LEAF dealer.
CHANGING COOLANT
Major cooling system repairs should be per-
formed by a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer. The
service procedures can be found in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance.
