Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: If your vehicle overheats
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.
WARNING
- Do not continue to drive if your vehicle
overheats. Doing so could cause engine
damage or a vehicle fire.
- 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
injury.
- Do not open the hood if steam is coming
out.
|
- Move the vehicle safely off the road, apply
the parking brake and move the shift lever to
N (Neutral) (manual transmission) or to P
(Park) (CVT).
Do not stop the engine.
- 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.
- 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.
- Open the engine hood.
WARNING If steam or water is coming from the
engine,
stand clear to prevent getting
burned. |
- Visually check drive belts 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,
the water pump belt is missing or loose, 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. |
- After the engine cools down, check the coolant
level in the engine coolant reservoir with
the engine running. Add coolant to the engine
coolant reservoir if necessary. Have
your vehicle repaired at a NISSAN dealer.
