LEVEL
Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the “MIN” to “MAX” when the engine is cool.

![]() | : MAX |
![]() | : MIN |
Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.
WARNING:
Never remove reservoir tank cap when engine is hot.
CAUTION:
Refill Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to Anti-Freeze Coolant Mixture Ratio.
LEAKAGE
NOTE:
The sealing surface between the water pump body and the shaft is lubricated by engine coolant.
A small amount of engine coolant is discharged from the lubrication surface during normal operation and may be found as a coolant residue on the plug, bleed hole, or bottom of water pump assembly.
In case of coolant residue is found on the water pump assembly, check the water pump leakage. Refer to WATER PUMP : Inspection.
Open the reservoir tank cap.

![]() | : Radiator cap |
![]() | : Reservoir tank cap |
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and radiator cap tester adapter (commercial service tool) (B).

| Testing pressure | : Refer to RADIATOR : Service Data. |
WARNING:
Never remove radiator cap and reservoir tank cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from engine cooling system.
CAUTION:
Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, fill radiator with engine coolant.
If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
