CAUTION:

Never adhere the engine coolant to electronic equipments.
(alternator etc.)
• 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.

• When engine coolant overflows disconnected heater

hose, connect heater hose, and continue filling the engine
coolant.

procedure is as follows:

Check for fluid leakage.

With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.
When ambient temperature is 20

C (68

Park the vehicle on a level surface.

Apply parking brake firmly.

With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move shift
selector throughout the entire shift range.

Pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charging
pipe after pressing the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to
release the lock.

Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Insert the CVT fluid
level gauge rotating 180

from the originally installed position,

then securely push the CVT fluid level gauge until it meets the
top end of the CVT fluid charging pipe.

CAUTION:

When wiping away the CVT fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth rag.

• After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road

wheel.

Wheel Balance Adjustment

• If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,

select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.

• The details of the adjustment procedure are different for each model of wheel balancer. Therefore, refer to

each instruction manual.

Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.

When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.

CAUTION:

• Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.

CAUTION:

• Always use genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.
• Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with

new ones.

• Do not install three or more sheets of balance weight.

If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.

CAUTION:

Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.

Start the tire balance machine again.
