	View A	B	Indicator (notch on the fixed side)	C	Possible use range
	Range when new drive belt is installed

WARNING:

Perform this step when engine is stopped.

• Check that the indicator [notch on fixed side ] of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range (C) shown.

  NOTE:

  • Check drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.

  • When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within range in the figure.

• Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.

• If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.

Adjustment

Drive belt tension is not manually adjusted. It is automatically adjusted by the drive belt auto-tensioner.

Engine Coolant

Inspection

LEVEL

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

  

  A	: MAX
  B	: MIN

• Adjust the engine coolant level if necessary.

  CAUTION:

  Refill Genuine NISSAN Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent in its quality mixed with water (distilled or demineralized). Refer to Fluids and Lubricants.

LEAKAGE

• Open the reservoir tank cap.

  

  1.	: Reservoir tank cap (for engine)
  2.	: Reservoir tank cap (for charge air cooler)
  	: Nissan Ariya Vehicle front

• To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and the radiator cap tester adapter [SST:EG17651130] (B).

  

  Testing pressure: Refer to Radiator.

  WARNING:

  Never remove reservoir tank cap when engine is hot. Serious burns may occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from engine cooling system.

  CAUTION:

  • Higher test pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.

  • Use radiator cap tester adapter [SST:EG17651130] (B) for connecting radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) (A) and filler neck to prevent deformation of reservoir tank filler neck.

  NOTE:

  In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.

• If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.

Draining

WHEN DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT USING DRAIN HOSE

WARNING:

• Never remove reservoir tank cap when engine is hot. Serious burns may occur from high-pressure engine coolant escaping from radiator.

• Wrap a thick cloth around the reservoir tank cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn it all the way.

NOTE:

This procedure is for engine cooling system. For procedures involving charge air cooler system, refer to Draining.

Remove engine under cover and engine under cover front. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Connect drain hose.

• Use a genera-purpose hose with the dimensions show in the figure.

  

  A	: φ 8.5 mm (0.335 in)
  B	: 150 mm (5.91 in)

Open radiator drain cock at the bottom of radiator, and then remove reservoir tank cap.

: Nissan Ariya Vehicle front

CAUTION:

• Perform this step when engine is cold.

• Draining coolant from the radiator, should make sure that the drain plug is pointed downwards.

• When draining all of engine coolant in the system, open water drain plugs on cylinder block. Refer to Setting.

Remove reservoir tank if necessary, and drain engine coolant and clean reservoir tank before installing.

Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration. If contaminated, flush the engine cooling system. Refer to Flushing.

Disconnect drain hose.

WHEN DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT USING TEMPORARY PIPE

NOTE:

This procedure is for engine cooling system. For procedures involving charge air cooler system, refer to Draining.

When draining coolant, follow the instructions below and create a temporary pipe to prevent from splashing.Prepare soft plastic board (e.g. plastic file folder) and roll up the plastic board.

Check that the length of temporary pipe (A) approx. 145 mm (5.71 in).

Remove engine under cover front. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Align the plastic board with the outside diameter of drain guide and fix with tape.

Install temporary pipe (A) to drain guide.
