RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS

Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio

INFOID:0000000009417501

The engine cooling system is filled at the factory with a pre-diluted mixture of 50% Genuine NISSAN Long Life

Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) and 50% water to provide year-round anti-freeze and coolant protection. The anti-

freeze solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional engine cooling system additives are not nec-

essary.

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure

engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a

quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Carefully remove radiator cap by turning it all the way.

CAUTION:

• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-

ant (blue) or equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to pro-

vide antifreeze protection to -34

°F (-37°C). If additional freeze protection is needed due to weather

where the vehicle is operated, add Genuine NISSAN long life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concentrate

following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long

Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufacturer’s instructions to maintain

minimum antifreeze protection to -34

°F (-37°C). The use of other types of coolant solutions other

than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the engine

cooling system.

• Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue),

including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water will

reduce the life expectancy of the factory filled coolant.

DRIVE BELT : Removal and Installation

INFOID:0000000009681903

REMOVAL

1. Remove engine undercover. Refer to

EXT-37, "FRONT UNDER COVER : Removal and Installation"

2. Remove wheel and tire (RH) using a power tool. Refer to

WT-45, "Removal and Installation"

3. Partially remove the fender protector (RH). Refer to

EXT-36, "Removal and Installation"

4. Loosen the lock nut and then release the belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt.
5. Remove the drive belt.

INSTALLATION

1. Pull the idler pulley in the loosening direction, and then temporarily tighten the lock nut to the following

torque.

NOTE:

Do not move the lock nut from the temporary tightened position. Go to step 2.

2. Install the drive belt on each pulley.

CAUTION:

• Check that there is no engine oil, grease, or engine coolant, etc. in pulley grooves.

• Check that the belt seats securely inside the groove on each pulley.

3. Adjust drive belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt. Refer to

MA-14, "DRIVE BELT : Adjustment"

CAUTION:

• Perform the belt tension adjustment with the lock nut temporarily tightened to the torque specifi-

cation listed in step 1 which prevents the idler pulley from tilting.

• When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after

turning crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflec-

tion between pulleys.

4. Tighten the lock nut to final tightening specification.

5. Check that belt tension is within the specification using suitable tool. Refer to

EM-115, "Drive Belt"

DRIVE BELT : Inspection

INFOID:0000000009681904

• Inspection should be done only when engine is cold or over 30

minutes after the engine is stopped.

• Visually check belt for wear, damage, and cracks on inside and

edges.

• Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise twice, and check that the tension on all pulleys equalizes before testing.
• When measuring deflection, apply 98.1 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the ( ) marked point.
• Measure the belt tension and frequency using suitable tool at the ( ) marked point.

CAUTION:

• When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning

crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between

pulleys.

DRIVE BELT : Adjustment

INFOID:0000000009681905

CAUTION:

• When belt is replaced with new one, adjust belt tension to the value for “New belt,” because new belt

will not fully seat in the pulley groove.

• When tension of the belt being used exceeds “Limit,” adjust it to the value for “After adjusted.”

• When installing a belt, check it is correctly engaged with the pulley groove.

• Do not allow engine oil or engine coolant to get on the belt.

• Do not twist or bend the belt strongly.
1. Partially remove the fender protector (RH) front side clip. Refer to

EXT-36, "Removal and Installation"

2. Loosen lock nut (A) and temporarily set to the following torque.

3. Adjust the belt tension by turning the adjusting bolt. Refer to

EM-115, "Drive Belt"

CAUTION:

• When checking immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after

turning crankshaft two turns or more, readjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflec-

tion between pulleys.

• When the tension adjustment is performed, the lock nut should be in the condition at Step 2. If

the tension adjustment is performed when the lock nut is loosened more than the temporary

tightening, the idler pulley tilts and the correct tension adjustment cannot be performed.

4. Tighten the lock nut to final tightening specification.

ENGINE COOLANT

INFOID:0000000009681906

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES

Check hoses for the following:

• Improper attachment

• Leaks

• Cracks

• Damage

• Loose connections

• Chafing

• Deterioration

CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL

• Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the

MAX (A) to MIN (B) range when the engine is cool.

• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.

CAUTION:

Refill the engine cooling system with the specified coolant or

equivalent. Refer to

MA-11, "Fluids and Lubricants"

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS

WARNING:

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure

engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly push down and

turn it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Carefully remove the cap by pushing it down

and turning it all the way.

CAUTION:

• Perform this step when the engine is cold.

• Do not spill engine coolant on drive belt.

To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using suit-

able tool (A) and Tool (B).
