XENON HEADLAMP
Xenon type headlamp is adapted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is passed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color.
Following are some of the many advantages of the xenon type headlamp.

The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.

Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.

The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sen-
sitive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehi-
cle, for added visibility.

Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
CAN Communication System DescriptionBKS001MW
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

SAE Viscosity NumberBLS0009D
GASOLINE ENGINE

5W-30 is preferable.
If 5W-30 is not available, select the viscosity, from the chart, that
is suitable for the outside temperature range.
CAUTION:

5W-20 should only be used for QR engine models.

5W-20 is not suitable for sustained high speed driving.
Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture RatioBLS0009E
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round anti-freeze coolant solution. The anti-freeze coolant solu-
tion contains the specific solutions effective for the anti-corrosion
and the anti-freeze function. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CAUTION:

When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Gen-
uine NISSAN Anti-freeze Coolant or equivalent in its quality
with the proper mixture ratio. See the examples shown
right.
The use of other types of engine coolant may damage your
cooling system.

When checking the engine coolant mixture ratio by the coolant hydrometer, use the chart below to correct
your hydrometer reading (specific gravity) according to coolant temperature.
Mixed coolant specific gravity
Unit: specific gravity
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pres-
sure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wait until the engine and radiator cool down.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE

5. Recheck A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on A/T
fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:

When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free paper, not cloth one.

Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using a stopper attached.
6. Check A/T fluid condition.

If ATF is very dark or smells burned, checking operation of A/
T. Flush cooling system after repair of A/T.

If ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-37,
"RADIATOR" , CO-40, "RADIATOR (ALUMINUM TYPE)" .
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging
pipe.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging
pipe using a stopper attached.
Changing A/T FluidBLS0009G
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill same volume with drained ATF.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
5. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-35, "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If ATF is still dirty, repeat steps
2 through 5.
Checking CVT FluidBLS0009H
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F). The fluid level check pro-
cedure is as follows:
