Nissan Ariya: Cooling system

Basic information

The 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 contains rust and corrosion inhibitors. Additional cooling system additives are not necessary.

WARNING

• Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the motor compartment is hot. Wait until the motor compartment cools down.
• Coolant is poisonous and should be stored carefully in marked containers out of the reach of children.

CAUTION

• Never use any additives in the coolant such as radiator sealer in the cooling system. This may cause damage to electrical equipment such as the motor and inverter.
• When adding or replacing coolant, be sure to use only a Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant (blue) or equivalent.

  Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant (blue) is prediluted to provide antifreeze protection to −34ºF (−37ºC) . If additional freeze protection is needed due to the weather conditions where you operate your vehicle, add Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) concentrate following the directions on the container. If an equivalent coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant (blue) is used, follow the coolant manufacturer's instructions to maintain minimum antifreeze protection to −34ºF (−37ºC).

  The use of other types of coolant solutions other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant (blue) or equivalent may damage the cooling system.

• The life expectancy of the factoryfill coolant is 125,000 miles (200,000 km) or 15 years. Mixing any other type of coolant other than Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue)(or equivalent coolant), including Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/ Coolant (green), or the use of non-distilled water may reduce the life expectancy of the factoryfilled coolant. For additional information, refer to the "Maintenance and schedules" section of this manual.

Checking coolant level

Checking coolant level Check the coolant level in the reservoir when the high voltage parts are cold. If the coolant level is below the MIN level 2, open the reservoir cap and add coolant up to the MAX level 1. If the reservoir is empty, check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir when the high voltage parts are cold. If there is insufficient coolant in the coolant reservoir, fill the coolant reservoir with coolant up to the reservoir cap opening and also add it to the reservoir up to the MAX level .

Tighten the cap securely after adding coolant.

For additional information on the location of the coolant reservoir, see "Motor compartment check locations".

If the cooling system frequently requires coolant, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer.

Changing coolant

It is recommended that major cooling system repairs should be performed by a NISSAN certified ARIYA dealer. The service procedures can be found in the appropriate NISSAN Service Manual.

Improper servicing can result in reduced heater performance.

WARNING

• To avoid the danger of being scalded, never change the coolant when the motor compartment is hot.
• Never remove the coolant reservoir cap when the motor compartment is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high-pressure fluid escaping from the radiator.
• Avoid direct skin contact with used coolant. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
• Keep coolant out of reach of children and pets.

Coolant must be disposed of properly.

Check your local regulations.
