Do not stop the engine.

3. Turn off the air conditioner (if so equipped).

Open all the windows, move the heater or air
conditioner temperature control to maximum
hot and fan control to high speed.

4. Get out of the vehicle. Look and listen for

steam or coolant escaping from the radiator
before opening the hood. (If steam or
coolant is escaping, turn off the engine.)
Do not open the hood further until no steam
or coolant can be seen.

WARNING

If steam or water is coming from the
engine, stand clear to prevent getting
burned.

6. Visually check the drive belt for damage or

looseness. Also check if the cooling fan is
running. The radiator hoses and radiator
should not leak water. If coolant is leaking or
the cooling fan does not run, stop the
engine.

WARNING

Be careful not to allow your hands, hair,
jewelry or clothing to come into contact
with, or get caught in, engine belts or
the engine cooling fan. The engine
cooling fan can start at any time.

7. After the engine cools down, check the

coolant level in the reservoir with the engine
running. Add coolant to the reservoir if
necessary. Have your vehicle repaired at a
NISSAN dealer.

When towing your vehicle, all State (Provincial in
Canada) and local regulations for towing must
be followed. Incorrect towing equipment could
damage your vehicle. Towing instructions are
available from a NISSAN dealer. Local service
operators are familiar with the applicable laws
and procedures for towing. To assure proper
towing and to prevent accidental damage to
your vehicle, NISSAN recommends that you
have a service operator tow your vehicle. It is
advisable to have the service operator carefully
read the following precautions.

WARNING

towed.

. Never get under your vehicle after it

has been lifted by a tow truck.

CAUTION

. When towing, make sure that the

transmission, axles, steering system
and powertrain are in working con-
dition. If any unit is damaged, dol-
lies must be used.

. Always attach safety chains before

towing.
