dren and pets.

freeze and coolant protection. The anti-freeze
solution contains rust and corrosion inhibitors.
Additional inverter cooling system additives are
not necessary.

140° F (60° C). Neverremove the coolant
reservoir cap when the engine and in-
verter are hot. Wait until the engine and
inverter cool down. Serious burns could

ing from the reservoir.

and inverter damage, use only a genu-
ine NISSAN inverter reservoir cap.
