REFILLING


CAUTION:
- Do not reuse O-rings.
- Do not put additive such as waterleak preventive, since it may cause cooling waterway clogging.
- When refilling use Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to "Fluids and Lubricants"
1.Install reservoir tank if removed and radiator drain plug.

CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new O-ring.


Radiator drain plug: Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.
2.Check that each hose clamp has been firmly tightened.





3.Refill reservoir tank to "MAX" level line with engine coolant.





4.Install reservoir tank cap.
5.Set the vehicle to READY and operate the electric water pump.
6.If reservoir tank fluid level drops, set the vehicle in READY OFF state and fill with coolant to the "MAX" line of the reservoir tank.
7.Repeat from Step 4 to 7 until the reservoir tank fluid level stops dropping.
8.Operate the electrically-controlled water pump for approximately 10 minutes with the vehicle set in
READY state, and check that the reservoir tank fluid level does not drop.
9.If reservoir tank fluid level drops, repeat from Step 4 to 7.

CHECK WATER FLOW SOUND


CAUTION:
Prior to check, be sure to close windows, doors, and hood, and turn off audio system and other electrical loads.
1.Set the vehicle to READY and operate the electric water pump.
2.Operate the electric water pump for 1 minute.
3.Check if water flow sound can be heard from the back of the compartment (near the on board charger).
4.If water flow sound is heard, operate the electric water pump until it cannot be heard.
5.When water flow sound cannot be heard, fill the reservoir tank up to "MAX" line.

CAUTION:
- Insufficient coolant may cause low power or stop of vehicle due to insufficient cooling of the traction motor inverter. Be sure to bleed air thoroughly.
- Never operate the electric water pump without coolant.
