*3: Never use API CG-4.
*4: Use Genuine Nissan Anti-freeze Coolant (L2N) or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the engine cooling
system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
Note that any repairs for the incidents within the engine cooling system while using non-genuine engine coolant may not be covered by
the warranty even if such incidents occurred during the warranty period.
*5: Never mix DOT 3 & DOT 4.

Pour coolant through coolant filler neck slowly to allow air
in system to escape.
11. Install radiator cap (side with pressure valve).
12. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
13. Run engine at 2,000 rpm for 10 seconds and return to idle
speed.
+Repeat 2 or 3 times.
Watch coolant temperature gauge so as not to overheat the
engine.
14. Stop engine and cool it down.
+Cool down using a fan to reduce the time.
15. Remove the reservoir tank filler cap (side with pressure
valve) and check coolant level.
+If necessary, refill reservoir tank (side with pressure valve) up
to filler neck with coolant.
16. Refill reservoir tank to Max line with coolant.
17. Repeat step 10 through step 16 two or more times.
18. Warm up engine, and check for sound of coolant flow while
running engine from idle up to 2,000 rpm with heater tem-
perature control set at several positions between COOL and
HOT.
+Sound may be noticeable at heater water cock.
19. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeat-
ing steps 12 through 18 until coolant level no longer drops.
+Clean excess coolant from engine.
Checking Cooling System
CHECKING HOSES AND CLAMPS
Check hoses and clamps for proper attachment, leaks, cracks,
damage, loose connections, chafing and deterioration.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Apply pressure to radiator cap (side with pressure valve) with
cap tester to see if it is satisfactory.
Radiator cap relief pressure:
59-98kPa
(0.59 - 0.98 bar, 0.6 - 1.0 kg/cm
2,9-14psi)
