WARNING
O
Do not continue to drive if your vehicle
overheats. Doing so could cause engine
damage or a vehicle fire.
O
To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never remove the radiator cap while the
engine is still hot. When the radiator cap
is removed, pressurized hot water will
spurt out, possibly causing serious in-
jury.
O
Do not open the hood if steam is coming
out.
If your vehicle is overheating (indicated
by an extremely high temperature gauge
reading), or if you feel a lack of engine
power, detect abnormal noise, etc., take
the following steps:
1. Move the vehicle safely off the road,
apply the parking brake and move the
selector lever to the P (Park) position.
Do not stop the engine.
2. Turn off the air conditioner switch.
Open all the windows, move the
heater or air conditioner temperature
control to maximum hot and fan con-
trol to high speed.
3. If engine overheating is caused by
climbing a long hill on a hot day, run
the engine at a fast idle (approxi-
mately 1,500 rpm) until the tempera-
ture 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 fur-
ther until no steam or coolant can be
seen.
5. Open the engine hood.
WARNING
If steam or water is coming from the engine,
stand clear to prevent getting burned.
6. Visually check if the cooling fan is run-
ning. 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, jew-
elry 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 when the coolant temperature is
high.
7. After the engine cools down, check
the coolant level in the reservoir tank
with the engine running. Add coolant
to the reservoir tank if necessary.
Have your vehicle repaired at an
INFINITI dealer.
