AFTER AN ACCIDENT 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. Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen before proceeding. 5. Open the 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 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 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 completely, 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 authorized NISSAN dealer.
