CO-2 < PRECAUTION > [HR16DE] PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTION PRECAUTIONS Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" INFOID:0000000007774133 The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of this Service Man- ual. WARNING: • To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer. • Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag Module, see the SR section. • Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har- ness connectors. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS WARNING: • When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni- tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor(s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing serious injury. • When using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the battery, and wait at least 3 minutes before performing any service.

CO-8 < PERIODIC MAINTENANCE > [HR16DE] ENGINE COOLANT PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ENGINE COOLANT Inspection INFOID:0000000007576022 CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM HOSES Check hoses for the following: • Improper attachment • Leaks • Cracks • Damage • Loose connections • Chafing • Deterioration CHECKING RESERVOIR LEVEL • Check that the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within the MAX (A) to MIN (B) range when the engine is cool. • Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary. CAUTION: Refill the engine cooling system with the specified coolant or equivalent. Refer to MA-12, " Fluids and Lubricants " . CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using suitable tool (A) and Tool (B). WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure coolant escaping from the radiator. CAUTION: Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator damage. Draining Engine Coolant INFOID:0000000007576023 WARNING: • Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from radiator. • Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn it all the way. 1. Remove engine undercover. Refer to EXT-15, " Exploded View " .

Open radiator drain plug (A) at the bottom of radiator, and then remove radiator cap. : Vehicle front CAUTION: • Perform this step when engine is cold. • Do not spill engine coolant on the drive belt. 4. It is necessary to drain the cylinder block when draining all of engine coolant in the system. To drain the cylinder block, open the water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to EM-94, " Exploded View " . 5. Remove reservoir tank if necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing. Refer to CO-14, " Exploded View " . 6. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to CO-10, " Flushing Cooling System " . Refilling Engine Coolant INFOID:0000000007576024 1. Install the radiator drain plug. Install the reservoir tank and cylinder block drain plug, if removed. CAUTION: • Be sure to clean drain plug and install with a new O-ring. • Apply sealant to the threads of the cylinder block drain plug. Use Genuine High Performance Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-15, " Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants " . 2. Set the vehicle heater controls to the full HOT and heater ON position. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with the engine OFF as necessary to activate the heater mode.

CO-10 < PERIODIC MAINTENANCE > [HR16DE] ENGINE COOLANT 3. Install the Tool by installing the radiator cap adapter onto the radiator neck opening. Then attach the gauge body assembly with the refill tube and the venturi assembly to the radiator cap adapter. 4. Insert the refill hose into the coolant mixture container that is placed at floor level. Make sure the ball valve is in the closed position. Use recommended coolant or equivalent. Refer to MA-12, " Flu- ids and Lubricants " . 5. Install an air hose to the venturi assembly. The air pressure must be within specification. CAUTION: The compressed air supply must be equipped with an air dryer. 6. The vacuum gauge will begin to rise and there will be an audible hissing noise. During this process open the ball valve on the refill hose slightly. Coolant will be visible rising in the refill hose. Once the refill hose is full of coolant, close the ball valve. This will purge any air trapped in the refill hose. 7. Continue to draw the vacuum until the gauge reaches 28 inches of vacuum. The gauge may not reach 28 inches in high altitude locations; use the vacuum specifications based on the altitude above sea level. 8. When the vacuum gauge has reached the specified amount, disconnect the air hose and wait 20 seconds to see if the system loses any vacuum. If the vacuum level drops, perform any necessary repairs to the system and repeat steps 6 - 8 to bring the vacuum to the specified amount. Recheck for any leaks. 9. Place the coolant container (with the refill hose inserted) at the same level as the top of the radiator. Then open the ball valve on the refill hose so the coolant will be drawn up to fill the cooling system. The cooling system is full when the vacuum gauge reads zero. CAUTION: Do not allow the coolant container to get too low when filling, to avoid air from being drawn into the cooling system. 10. Remove the Tool from the radiator neck opening. 11. Fill the cooling system reservoir tank to the specified level and install the radiator cap. Run the engine to warm up the cooling system and top up the system as necessary. 12. Install engine undercover. Refer to EXT-15, " Exploded View " . Flushing Cooling System INFOID:0000000007576025 1. Install radiator drain plug and reservoir tank, if removed. Tool number : KV991J0070 (J-45695) Engine coolant capacity (with reservoir tank) : Refer to MA-12, " Fluids and Lubricants " . Compressed air supply pressure : 549 - 824 kPa (5.6 - 8.4 kg/cm 2 , 80 - 119 psi) LLIA0058E Altitude above sea level Vacuum gauge reading 0 - 100 m (328 ft) : 28 inches of vacuum 300 m (984 ft) : 27 inches of vacuum 500 m (1,641 ft) : 26 inches of vacuum 1,000 m (3,281 ft) : 24 - 25 inches of vacuum LLIA0057E Revision: July 2011 2012 Versa Sedan
