tions. Therefore, additional cooling system
additives are not necessary.
CHECKING AIR INTAKE COOLANT LEVEL
CAUTION:

.
Never use any cooling system additives
such as radiator sealer. Additives may
clog the cooling system and cause da-
mage to the engine, transmission and/or
cooling system.
When adding or replacing coolant, be
sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Engine
Coolant or equivalent in its quality with
the proper mixture ratio. Examples of the
mixture ratio of coolant and water are
shown in the following tables:
WAI0044X
Check the coolant level in the reservoir when
the engine is cold. If the coolant level is below
the MIN level , add coolant to the MAX level
.
If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked by a NISSAN dealer.
