Drive BeltsELS001XU
Checking Drive BeltsELS001XV
WA RN ING:
Be sure to perform this step when the engine is stopped.

Make sure that the indicator (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use
range (A).
NOTE:

Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within the range (B) in the
figure.

Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.

If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.
Tension AdjustmentELS001XW
Belt tension is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by drive belt auto-tensioner.
Changing Engine CoolantELS001XX
WA RN ING:

To avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.

Wrap a thick cloth around radiator cap and carefully remove the cap. First, turn the cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.

Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belt.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Open radiator drain plug (1) at the bottom of radiator, and then
remove radiator cap.

Vehicle front
When drain all of engine coolant in the system, open water
drain plug on cylinder block. Refer to EM-77, "
CYLINDER
BLOCK" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.
2. Remove reservoir tank as necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.
Refer to CO-11, "
RADIATOR" .
3. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.

If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to MA-15, "FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM" .
REFILLING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Install reservoir tank if removed. Refer to CO-11, "RADIATOR" .
2. Install radiator drain plug.

If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-77, "CYLIN-
DER BLOCK" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-11, "
Components" .
3. Make sure that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.
4. Remove air duct assembly. Refer to EM-16, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
5. Disconnect heater hose (1) at position ( ) as shown.

Front

Enhance heater hose as high as possible.
6. Fill radiator and reservoir tank to specified level.

Pour engine coolant through engine coolant filler neck
slowly of less than 2 (2 1/8 US qt, 1-3/4 lmp qt) a minute
to allow air in system to escape.

Use NISSAN Genuine Engine Coolant or equivalent
mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Fill cooling
system to specification. Refer to MA-11, "
RECOM-
MENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".

When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater hose,
connect heater hose, and continue filling the engine coolant, if
heater hose is disconnected.
7. Install radiator cap.
8. Install air duct assembly. Refer to EM-16, "
AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT" .
9. Warm up until opening thermostat. Standard for warming-up time is approximately 10 minutes at 3,000
rpm.

Make sure thermostat opening condition by touching radiator hose (lower) to see a flow of warm water.
CAUTION:
Watch water temperature gauge so as not to overheat the engine.
10. Stop engine and cool down to less than approximately 50°C (122°F).

Cool down using fan to reduce the time.

If necessary, refill radiator up to filler neck with engine coolant.
11. Refill reservoir tank to “MAX” level line with engine coolant.
12. Repeat steps 6 through 10 two or more times with radiator cap installed until engine coolant level no
longer drops.
13. Check cooling system for leaks with engine running.
14. Warm up engine, and check for sound of engine coolant flow while running engine from idle up to 3,000
rpm with heater temperature controller set at several position between “COOL” and “WARM”.

Sound may be noticeable at heater unit.
15. Repeat step 14 three times.
16. If sound is heard, bleed air from cooling system by repeating steps 6 through 10 until engine coolant level
no longer drops.

FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM
1. Install reservoir tank if removed. Refer to CO-11, "RADIATOR" .
2. Install radiator drain plug.

If water drain plug on cylinder block is removed, close and tighten it. Refer to EM-77, "CYLIN-
DER BLOCK" .
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean radiator drain plug and install with new O-ring. Refer to CO-11, "
Components" .
3. Fill radiator and reservoir tank with water and reinstall radiator cap.
4. Run engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
5. Rev engine two or three times under no-load.
6. Stop engine and wait until it cools down.
7. Drain water from the cooling system. Refer to MA-13, "
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" .
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 until clear water begins to drain from radiator.
InspectionELS0020L
LEVEL CHECK

Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the
“MIN” to “MAX” range when engine is cool.

Adjust the engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using Tool.
WA RN ING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
Checking Fuel LinesELS001XZ
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.

Changing In-cabin MicrofilterELS0022D
1. Remove the glove box assembly. Refer to IP-10, "INSTRUMENT PANEL ASSEMBLY" .
2. Compress the air conditioner filter (1) downward while sliding it
to the RH side of the vehicle to release the upper pawl.
3. Move the bottom of air conditioner filter (1) upward as shown to
release the bottom tab, then remove it.
4. Replace the air conditioner filter with new one and install the
new filter in the A/C unit assembly.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the air conditioner filter lower tab is fully
seated, and that the air conditioner upper pawl is locked
into place securing the new filter into the A/C unit assem-
bly.
Checking Exhaust SystemELS0021U
Check the exhaust pipes, muffler, and exhaust mounts for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, chafing, or deterioration.
Checking CVT FluidELS0021V
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the
CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes
about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the
selector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it to
the “P” position.
5. Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lock
and pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charg-
ing pipe.

is within the specified range as shown. If the fluid level is at or
below the low side of the range, add the necessary specified
NISSAN CVT fluid through the CVT charging pipe.
CAUTION:

Only use specified NISSAN CVT fluid.

Do not overfill the CVT.
8. Install the CVT fluid level gauge to the CVT fluid charging pipe until it locks.
CAUTION:
When CVT fluid level gauge is installed into the CVT fluid charging pipe, make sure that the CVT
fluid level gauge is securely locked in place.
