REPLENISHING COOLANT
The information and specifications below apply only when
engaging in performance driving.
Check the coolant level in the pressurized coolant reser-
voir tank. Adjust the level so that the fluid is between the
MAX and MIN markings. For the coolant, use genuine
NISSAN Blue Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant. (On delivery
of a new vehicle, the reservoir is filled up to the MIN level.
Be sure to replenish approximately 0.3 to 0.4 US quart
(0.3 to 0.4 liter) of coolant.)
NOTICE: Do not overfill the coolant. This may increase the
pressure in the cooling system and cause coolant leaks.
COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO
The information and specifications below apply only when
engaging in performance driving. For maximum cooling
system performance, the coolant mixture ratio should be a
combination of 30% antifreeze and 70% demineralized or
distilled water.
If ambient temperatures are anticipated below 5°F
(-15°C), make sure a proper mixture ratio of 50% anti-
freeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water is used.
Do not add coolant over the MAX level. This may cause
coolant leaks because the pressure in the cooling system
may become too high and a hose may become discon-
nected.
To maximize vehicle performance, the coolant mixture ratio
should be a combination of 30% antifreeze and 70%
demineralized or distilled water for maximum cooling sys-
tem performance regardless of ambient temperatures.
COOL DOWN
The information and specifications below apply only when
engaging in performance driving.
Cool down the vehicle to help extend the life of the vehicle
if coolant temperatures are extremely high.
Drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to 80 km/h), in 5th
or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km) and then stop the
engine.
