3. If engine overheating is caused by climbing

a long hill on a hot day, run the engine at a
fast idle (approximately 1,500 rpm) until the
temperature gauge indication returns to
normal.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
