motor compartment is hot.
• Never remove the coolant tank cap when the motor compartment is hot.
Serious burns could be caused by
high-pressure fluid escaping from the

coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.
• Keep coolant out of reach of children and pets.
Coolant must be disposed of properly. Check
your local regulations. When checking or replacement is required, we
recommend a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer for
servicing.

cause deterioration in driveability and
reduction gear durability, and may
