Do-it-yourself

When performing any inspection or main-

tenance work on your vehicle, always

take care to prevent serious accidental

injury to yourself or damage to the

vehicle. The following are general precau-

tions which should be closely observed.

WARNING

Park the vehicle on a level sur-

face, apply the parking brake

securely and block the wheels to

prevent the vehicle from moving.

Move the shift lever to the P

(Park) position (CVT model) or

the shift lever to the N (Neutral)

position (MT model).

Be sure the ignition switch is in

the OFF or LOCK position when

performing any parts replace-

ment or repairs.

If you must work with the engine

running, keep your hands, cloth-

ing, hair and tools away from

moving fans, belts and any other

moving parts.

It is advisable to secure or re-

move any loose clothing and

remove any jewelry, such as

rings, watches, etc. before work-

ing on your vehicle.

Always wear eye protection

whenever you work on your ve-

hicle.

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.

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.

Do not work under the hood while

the engine is hot. Always turn off

the engine and wait until it cools

down.

If you must work with the engine

running, keep your hands, cloth-

ing, hair and tools away from

moving fans, belts and any other

moving parts.

Keep smoking materials, flame

and sparks away from fuel and

the battery.

On gasoline engine models with

the Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI)

system, the fuel filter and fuel

lines should be serviced because

the fuel lines are under high

pressure even when the engine

is turned off. It is recommended

that you visit a NISSAN dealer for

this service.

Your vehicle is equipped with an

automatic engine cooling fan. It

may come on at any time without

warning, even if the ignition

switch 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.

Avoid direct contact with used

engine oil and coolant. Impro-

perly disposed engine oil, engine

coolant, and/or other vehicle

fluids can hurt the environment.

Always conform to local regula-

tions for disposal of vehicle fluids.

CAUTION

Do not work under the hood while

the engine is hot. Turn the engine

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

off and wait until it cools down.

Avoid direct contact with used

engine oil and coolant. Impro-

perly disposed engine oil, and

engine coolant and/or other ve-

hicle fluids can damage the en-

vironment. Always conform to

local regulations for disposal of

vehicle fluid.

Never leave the engine or the CVT

related component harnesses

disconnected while the ignition

switch is in the ON position.

Never connect or disconnect the

battery or any transistorized

component while the ignition

switch is in the ON position.

Your vehicle is equipped with an

automatic engine cooling fan. It

may come on at any time without

warning, even if the ignition key is

in the OFF position and the en-

gine is not running. To avoid

injury, always disconnect the ne-

gative battery cable before work-

ing near the fan.

This “8. Do-it-yourself” section gives in-

structions 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

manual order information” (P.10-21).)
You should be aware that incomplete or

improper servicing may result in operat-

ing difficulties or excessive emissions, and

could affect your warranty coverage.

If in

doubt about any servicing, it is recom-

mended you have it done by a NISSAN

dealer.

Engine oil dipstick

Battery

Fuse/fusible link box

For Manual Transmission (MT) Model

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 pro-

tection. The anti-freeze solution contains

rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional

engine cooling system additives are not

necessary.

WARNING

Never remove the radiator or

coolant reservoir cap when the

engine is hot. Wait until the en-

gine and radiator cool down.

Serious burns could be caused

by high pressure fluid escaping

from the radiator. See precau-

tions in “If your vehicle overheats”

(P.6-16) of this manual.

The radiator is equipped with a

pressure type radiator cap. To

prevent engine damage, use only

a genuine NISSAN radiator cap.

If the engine was stopped soon

when the engine is hot, the cool-

ing fan may operate for approxi-

mately 10 minutes after the

engine was stopped to cool the

components in the engine com-

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

partment. When the cooling fan is

operating, be sure that hands or

other items do not get caught in

it.

CAUTION

Never use any cooling system

additives such as radiator sealer.

Additives may clog the cooling

system and cause damage to

the engine, transmission and/or

cooling system.

When adding or replacing cool-

ant, be sure to use only Genuine

NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/

Coolant (blue) or equivalent. Gen-

uine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/

Coolant (blue) is pre-diluted to

provide antifreeze protection to

-34°F(-37°C). If additional freeze

protection is needed due to

weather where you operate your

vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long

Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue)

concentrate following the direc-

tions on the container. If an

equivalent coolant other than

Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-

freeze/Coolant (blue) is used, fol-

low the coolant manufacture’s

instructions to maintain mini-

mum 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 en-

gine cooling system.

The life expectancy of the fac-

tory-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/Coolant (blue) (or

equivalent coolant), including

Genuine NISSAN Long Life Anti-

freeze/Coolant (green), or the use

of non-distilled water will reduce

the life expectancy of the factory-

fill coolant. Refer to the “9. Main-

tenance and schedules” section

of this manual for more details.

CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL

Check the coolant level

in the reservoir

when the engine is cold.

If the coolant

level is below the MIN level

, open the

reservoir cap and 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 filler

opening and also add it to the reservoir

up to the MAX level

Tighten the cap securely after adding

engine coolant.

If the cooling system frequently re-

quires coolant, have it checked. It is

Improper servicing can result in re-

duced heater performance and engine

overheating.

WARNING

To avoid being scalded, never

change the coolant when the

engine is hot.

Never remove the radiator or

coolant reservoir cap when the

engine is hot. Serious burns could

be caused by high pressure fluid

escaping from the radiator.

Pre-mix washer fluid concen-

trates with water to the manu-

facturer’s recommended levels

before pouring the fluid into the

window washer reservoir tank. Do

not use the window washer re-

servoir tank to mix the washer

fluid concentrate and water.

Keep the battery surface clean and

dry. Clean the battery with a solution

of baking soda and water.

Make certain the terminal connec-

tions are clean and securely tightened.

If the vehicle is not to be used for 30

days or longer, disconnect the nega-

tive

battery terminal cable to pre-

vent discharging it.

NOTE:
Care should be taken to avoid situations

that can lead to potential battery dis-

charge and potential no-start condi-

tions such as:

Installation or extended use of elec-

tronic accessories that consume

battery power when the engine is

not running (Phone chargers, GPS,

DVD players, etc.)

Vehicle is not driven regularly and/

or only driven short distances.

In these cases, the battery may need to

be charged to maintain battery health.

WARNING

Do not expose the battery to

flames or electrical sparks. Hy-

drogen gas generated by the

battery is explosive. Do not allow

battery fluid to contact your skin,

eyes, fabrics or painted surfaces.

After touching a battery or bat-

tery cap, do not touch or rub your

eyes. Thoroughly wash your

hands. If the acid contacts your

eyes, skin or clothing, immedi-

ately flush with water for at least

15 minutes and seek medical

attention.

Do not operate the vehicle if the

fluid in the battery is low. Low

battery fluid can cause a higher

load on the battery which can

generate heat, reduce battery life,

and in some cases lead to an

explosion.

When working on or near a bat-

tery, always wear suitable eye

protection and remove all jew-

elry.

Battery posts, terminals and re-

lated accessories contain lead

and lead compounds. Wash

hands after handling.

needs more to be added.

3. Tighten cell plugs

Vehicles operated in high temperatures

or under severe conditions require fre-

quent checks of the battery fluid level.

JUMP STARTING

If jump starting is necessary, see “Jump

starting” (P.6-14). If the engine does not

start by jump starting, the battery may

have to be replaced. It is recommended

you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

CAUTION

Do not ground accessories di-

rectly to the battery terminal.

Doing so will bypass the variable

voltage control system and the

vehicle battery may not charge

completely.

Use electrical accessories with

the engine running to avoid dis-

charging the vehicle battery.

The variable voltage control system mea-

sures the amount of electrical discharge

from the battery and controls voltage

generated by the generator.
