Do-it-yourself

When performing any inspection or mainte-
nance work on your vehicle, always take care
to prevent serious accidental injury to yourself or
damage to the vehicle. The following are general
precautions which should be closely observed.

WARNING

Park the vehicle on a level surface,
apply the parking brake securely
and block the wheels to prevent
the vehicle from moving. For man-
ual transmission models, move the
shift lever to N (Neutral). For auto-
matic transmission models, move
the shift lever to P (Park).

Be sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF or LOCK position when per-
forming any parts replacement or
repairs.

Never connect or disconnect the
battery or any transistorized com-
ponent while the ignition switch is
in the ON position.

Never leave the engine or automatic
transmission related component
harnesses disconnected while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.

If you must work with the engine
running, keep your hands, clothing,
hair and tools away from moving
fans, belts and any other moving
parts.

It is advisable to secure or remove
any loose clothing and remove any
jewelry, such as rings, watches, etc.
before working on your vehicle.

Always wear eye protection when-
ever you work on your vehicle.

If you must run the engine in an
enclosed space such as a garage, be
sure there is proper ventilation for
exhaust gases to escape.

Never get under the vehicle while it
is supported only by a jack. If it is
necessary to work under the vehicle,
support it with safety stands.

Keep smoking materials, flame and
sparks away from fuel tank and the
battery.

Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic engine cooling fan. It may
come on at any time without warn-
ing, even if the ignition key is in the
OFF position and the engine is not
running. To avoid injury, always

disconnect the negative battery
cable before working near the fan.

Because the fuel lines are under
high pressure even when the engine
is off, it is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for service of the
fuel filter or fuel lines.

CAUTION

Do not work under the hood while
the engine is hot. Turn the engine
off and wait until it cools down.

Avoid direct contact with used en-
gine oil and coolant. Improperly
disposed engine oil, coolant, and/
or other vehicle fluids can damage
the environment. Always conform to
local regulations for disposal of
vehicle fluid.

This “8. Do-it-yourself” section gives instruc-
tions regarding only those items which are
relatively easy for an owner to perform.

A genuine NISSAN Service Manual is also
available. (See “Owner’s Manual/Service Man-
ual order information” (P.10-25).)

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 antifreeze solution
contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional
engine cooling system additives are not neces-
sary.

WARNING

Never remove the radiator or cool-
ant reservoir cap when the engine is
hot. Wait until the engine and
radiator cool down. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator.
See precautions in “If your vehicle
overheats” (P.6-17) of this manual.

The radiator is equipped with a
pressure type radiator cap. To pre-
vent engine damage, use only a
genuine NISSAN radiator cap.

CAUTION

Never use any cooling system ad-
ditives such as radiator sealer. Ad-
ditives may clog the cooling system
and cause damage to the engine,
transmission and/or cooling sys-
tem.

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/Cool-
ant (blue) is pre-diluted to provide
antifreeze protection to

−348F

(

−378C). If additional freeze protec-

tion is needed due to weather where
you operate your vehicle, add Gen-
uine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/
Coolant (blue) concentrate follow-
ing the directions on the container.
If an equivalent coolant other than
Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-
freeze/Coolant (blue) is used, fol-
low the coolant manufacturer’s
instructions to maintain minimum
antifreeze protection to

−348F

(

−378C). The use of other types of

coolant solutions other than Genu-

ine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/
Coolant (blue) or equivalent may
damage the engine cooling system.

The life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant is 105,000 miles (168,000
km) or 7 years. Mixing any other
type of coolant other than Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (blue) , including Genuine
NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Cool-
ant (green), or the use of non-
distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory-fill cool-
ant. Refer to the “9. Maintenance
and schedules” section of this man-
ual for more details.

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL

Check the coolant level in the reservoir when
the engine is running and after it reaches
normal operating temperature. If the coolant
level is below the MIN level

, add coolant up

to the MAX level

. If the reservoir is empty,

check the coolant level in the radiator when
the engine is cold. If there is insufficient
coolant in the radiator, fill the radiator with
coolant up to the radiator filler cap above the
radiator upper hose opening and also add it to
the reservoir up to the MAX level

. Put on the

filler cap above the radiator upper hose and with
the reservoir cap open, start the engine. Run the
engine until it reaches normal operating tem-

perature. Add coolant up to the MAX level

Tighten the cap securely after adding engine
coolant.

If the cooling system requires coolant
frequently, have it checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this
service.

CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT

It is recommended that major cooling system
repairs be performed by a NISSAN dealer. The
service procedures can be found in the appro-
priate NISSAN Service Manual.

Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheat-
ing.

WARNING

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

Never remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. Serious burns
could be caused by high pressure
fluid escaping from the radiator.

Avoid direct skin contact with used
coolant. If skin contact is made,
wash thoroughly with soap or hand

cleaner as soon as possible.

Keep coolant out of reach of chil-
dren and pets.

Engine coolant must be disposed of properly.
Check your local regulations.

Be careful not to clog the washer nozzle

This may cause improper windshield washer
operation. If the nozzle is clogged, remove any
objects with a needle or small pin

. Be

careful not to damage the nozzle.

If the brakes do not operate properly, it is
recommended you have the brakes checked by
a NISSAN dealer.

SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKES

Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.

The disc-type brakes self-adjust every time the
brake pedal is applied.

WARNING

Have your brake system checked if the
brake pedal height does not return to
normal. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING

The disc brake pads have audible wear warn-
ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it
will make a high pitched scraping sound when
the vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound will
first occur only when the brake pedal is
depressed. After more wear of the brake pad
the sound will always be heard even if the brake
pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the wear warning
sound is heard.

Under some driving or climate conditions,
occasional brake squeak, squeal or other noise
may be heard. Occasional brake noise during
light to moderate stops is normal and does not
affect the function or performance of the brake
system.

Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed. For additional information, see the
maintenance schedule shown in the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section.
