Nissan Micra (2018 year). Instruction — part 16

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 fol-
lowing are general precautions which
should be closely observed.

WARNING

∙ Park the vehicle on a level surface, ap-

ply the parking brake securely and
block the wheels to prevent the ve-
hicle from moving. For manual trans-
mission models, move the shift lever
to N (Neutral). For Automatic Trans-
mission (A/T) move the shift lever to P
(Park)

∙ Be sure the ignition key is in the OFF or

LOCK position when performing any
parts replacement or repairs.

∙ Your vehicle is equipped with an auto-

matic engine cooling fan. It may come
on at any time without warning, even
if the ignition key is in the OFF position
and the engine is not running. To
avoid injury, always disconnect the
negative battery cable before work-
ing near the fan.

∙ If you must work with the engine run-

ning, keep your hands, clothing, hair
and tools away from moving fans,
belts and any other moving parts.

∙ It is advisable to secure or remove any

loose clothing and remove any jew-
elry, such as rings, watches, etc. be-
fore working on your vehicle.

∙ Always wear eye protection whenever

you work on your vehicle.

∙ If you must run the engine in an en-

closed 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 neces-
sary to work under the vehicle, sup-
port it with safety stands.

∙ Keep smoking materials, flame and

sparks away from the fuel tank and
battery.

∙ On gasoline engine models, the fuel

filter or fuel lines should be serviced
because the fuel lines are under high
pressure even when the engine is off.
It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.

CAUTION

∙ Do not work under the hood while the

engine is hot. Turn the engine off and
wait until it cools down.

∙ Avoid contact with used engine oil

and coolant. Improperly disposed en-
gine oil, engine coolant and/or other
vehicle fluids can damage the envi-
ronment. Always conform to local
regulations for disposal of vehicle
fluid.

∙ Never leave the engine or automatic

transmission related component har-
nesses disconnected while the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.

∙ Never connect or disconnect the bat-

tery or any transistorized component
while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.

This “Do-it-yourself ” section gives instruc-
tions regarding only those items which are
relatively easy for an owner to perform.

You should be aware that incomplete or
improper servicing may result in operating
difficulties or excessive emissions, and
could affect warranty coverage. If in doubt
about any servicing, it is recommended
that you have it done by a NISSAN dealer.

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 antifreeze and coolant
protection. The antifreeze solution con-
tains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Addi-
tional engine cooling system additives are
not necessary.

WARNING

∙ Never remove the radiator or coolant

reservoir cap when the engine is hot.
Wait until the engine and radiator cool
down. Serious burns could be caused
by high pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator. For additional informa-
tion on precautions, refer to “If your
vehicle overheats” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.

∙ The radiator is equipped with a pres-

sure type radiator cap. To prevent en-
gine damage, use only a Genuine
NISSAN radiator cap.

CAUTION

∙ Never use any cooling system addi-

tives such as radiator sealer. Additives
may clog the cooling system and
cause damage to the engine, trans-
mission and/or cooling system.

∙ When adding or replacing coolant, be

sure to use only Genuine NISSAN Long
Life

Antifreeze/Coolant

(blue)

equivalent. Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant

(blue)

pre-

diluted to provide antifreeze protec-
tion to -34° F (-37° C). If additional
freeze protection is needed due to
weather where you operate your ve-
hicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant

(blue)

concen-

trate following the directions on the
container. If an equivalent coolant
other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is used, fol-
low the coolant manufacturer’s in-
structions to maintain minimum anti-
freeze protection to -34° F (-37° C). The
use of other types of coolant solu-
tions other than Genuine NISSAN Long
Life

Antifreeze/Coolant

(blue)

equivalent may damage the engine
cooling system.

∙ The life expectancy of the factory-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),
including Genuine NISSAN Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use
of non-distilled water will reduce the
life expectancy of the factory-fill cool-
ant. For additional information, refer
to the "Maintenance and schedules"
section of this manual.

when the engine is cold. If the coolant
level is below the MIN level

䊊

, add coolant

to the MAX level

䊊

. If the reservoir is empty,

check the coolant level in the radiator
when the engine is cold. If there is insuffi-
cient 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

䊊

This vehicle contains Genuine NISSAN Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue). The life ex-
pectancy of the factory-fill coolant is
105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 7 years. Mixing
any other type of coolant or the use of
non-distilled water will reduce the life ex-
pectancy of the factory-fill coolant. For ad-
ditional information, refer to the “Mainte-
nance and schedules” section of this
manual.

If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, it is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for this service.

For additional information on the location
of the engine coolant reservoir, refer to “En-
gine compartment check locations” in this
section.

CHANGING ENGINE COOLANT

A NISSAN dealer can change the engine
coolant. The service procedure can be
found in the NISSAN Service Manual.

Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine over-
heating.

WARNING

∙ To avoid the danger of being scalded,

never change the coolant when the
engine is hot.

∙ Never remove the radiator cap when

the engine is hot. Serious burns could
be caused by high pressure fluid es-
caping from the radiator.

∙ Avoid direct skin contact with used

coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and

apply the parking brake.

2. Start the engine and let it idle until it

reaches operating temperature.

3. Turn off the engine. Wait more than

10 minutes for the oil to drain back
into the oil pan.

4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.

Reinsert it all the way.

5. Remove the dipstick again and check

the oil level. It should be between the H
(High) and L (Low) marks

䊊

. This is the

normal operating oil level range. If the
oil level is below the L (Low) mark

䊊

remove the oil filler cap and pour rec-
ommended oil through the opening.
Do not overfill

䊊

6. Recheck oil level with the dipstick.

It is normal to add some engine oil be-
tween oil maintenance intervals de-
pending on the severity of operating
conditions or depending on the property
of the engine oil used. More engine oil is
consumed by frequent acceleration/
deceleration especially when the engine
rpm is high. Consumption is likely to be
higher when the engine is new. If the rate
of oil consumption, after driving for
3,000 miles (5,000 km), is more than
0.5 liter per 600 miles (1,000 km), consult
a NISSAN dealer

CAUTION

Oil level should be checked regularly.
Operating the engine with an insuffi-
cient amount of oil can damage the en-
gine, and such damage is not covered
by warranty.

WARNING

∙ Do not expose the battery to flames,

an electrical spark or a cigarette. Hy-
drogen gas generated by the battery
is explosive. Explosive gases can
cause blindness or injury. Do not allow
battery fluid to contact your skin,
eyes, fabrics or painted surfaces. Sul-
furic acid can cause blindness or in-
jury. 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, immediately flush with wa-
ter 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 bat-
tery life, and in some cases lead to an
explosion.

∙ When working on or near a battery,

always wear suitable eye protection
and remove all jewelry.

∙ Battery posts, terminals and related

accessories contain lead and lead
compounds.

Wash

hands

after

handling.

2. Check the fluid level in each cell. If it is

necessary to add fluid, add only dis-
tilled water to bring the level up to the
bottom of the filler opening. Do not
overfill. Reinstall the vent caps.

Vehicles operated in high temperatures or
under severe conditions require frequent
checks of the battery fluid level.

JUMP STARTING

If jump starting is necessary, refer to “Jump
starting” in the “In case of emergency” sec-
