Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio

NLS0003P

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a high-quality,
year-round, anti-freeze coolant solution. The anti-freeze solution
contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Therefore, additional cooling
system additives are not necessary.

CAUTION:

When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant or equivalent with the
proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-freeze and 50% demineralized
water/distilled water.
Other types of coolant solutions may damage your cooling sys-
tem.

Checking Drive Belts

NLS0003Q

WARNING:

Be sure to perform when engine is stopped.

●

Remove air duct (inlet) when inspecting drive belt for alternator, water pump and A/C compressor.

●

Remove undercover (with power tool) when inspecting power steering oil pump belt.

●

Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of each auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
(between three line notches).
NOTE:

●

Check auto tensioner indication when engine is cold.

●

When new drive belt is installed, the range should be A.

●

The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the tensioner for alternator, water pump and A/C
compressor belt, while it is found on the fixed side for power steering oil pump belt. 

●

Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.

●

If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt.

Tension Adjustment

NLS0003R

Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by auto tensioner.

Changing Engine Coolant

NLS0003S

WARNING:

●

To avoid being scalded, never change engine coolant when engine is hot.

●

Wrap a thick cloth around 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.
