CHECKING ENGINE COOLANT LEVELGUID-DA7D7105-DC17-4713-B231-B4FA68BFD877Check the coolant levelin the reservoir
tank when the engine is cold. If the coolant
level is below the MIN level
*2, open the
reservoir tank cap and add coolant up to
the MAX level
*1. If the reservoir tank is
empty, check the coolant level in the
radiator when the engine is cold. If there
is insufficient coolant in the radiator, fill
the radiator with coolant up to the filler
opening and also add it to the reservoir
tank up to the MAX level
*1.
Tighten the cap securely after adding
engine coolant. If the cooling system frequently requires
coolant, have it checked by an INFINITI
retailer.
CHANGING ENGINE COOLANTGUID-448B6596-5480-4B35-8757-8FBCB36BF623Major cooling system repairs should be
performed by an INFINITI retailer. The
service procedures can be found in the
appropriate INFINITI Service Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced
heater performance and engine overheat-
ing.
WARNING
.
To avoid the danger of being scalded,
never change the coolant when the
engine is hot.
. Never remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Serious burns could be
caused by high pressure fluid escaping
from the radiator.
. Avoid direct skin contact with used
coolant. If skin contact is made, wash
thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as
soon as possible.
. Keep coolant out of the reach of children
and pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of
properly. Check your local regulations.
