2006 Nissan Towing Guide 20 2. Turn off the air conditioning and, after opening all the windows, turn the heater on to
maximum hot and the fan to its highest speed. The heater core in your vehicle is just
like a miniature engine radiator and will provide an extra cooling surface to help reduce
engine temperature.
3. Run the engine at a fast idle (approximately 1,500 rpm) until the temperature gauge
returns to a normal reading. If the temperature does not drop or continues to increase,
stop this step immediately.
4. Being cautious of traffic, step out of the vehicle and, from a safe distance, look for
steam underneath the engine. If you see steam or leaking coolant, stand clear to avoid
being burned. Shut off your engine immediately and allow it to cool. If there is no steam,
open the hood. Never remove the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. If the cap is
removed under these conditions, hot water under high pressure may spurt out, possibly
causing serious injury.
5. As soon as the engine has cooled to its normal operating temperature, visually inspect
the drive belts for damage or looseness. A loose belt reduces water pump efficiency.
Be careful to keep your hands, hair, jewelry, and clothing clear of the running drive belt
and other moving parts when inspecting the engine and radiator. Also check to see if
the cooling fan is running, and inspect the water pump, radiator, and radiator hoses for
leaks. Keep in mind, too, that if your vehicle is equipped with an electric fan motor, it
may start without warning any time the coolant temperature is high. If you find leaking
coolant, a loose or missing drive belt, or an inoperable fan, turn the engine off
immediately.
6. If no leaks are apparent and all other components appear to be operating properly with
the engine cooled to its normal operating temperature, check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank with the engine running. Add coolant to the reservoir tank if needed. At
this point, if repairs are required, go to the nearest Nissan dealer. See the IN CASE OF
EMERGENCY section of your owner’s manual for additional information on overheating.
NOTE – Armada, Frontier, Pathfinder, Titan, and Xterra vehicles have an engine protection
mode which helps reduce the chance of engine damage if the engine coolant reaches a
specified temperature. The Murano has a high fluid temperature protection mode which
helps to reduce the chance of transmission damage. See your owner’s manual for details.

PROTECTION
At Nissan, we back everything we build. So we’re proud that every Nissan is protected by
some of the best New Vehicle Limited Warranties, including 36-month/36,000-mile basic
coverage. All 2006 models also feature 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain coverage.* And,
Nissan warranties are completely transferable if you should sell your Nissan.
If you want additional peace of mind, we proudly offer the Nissan Security+Plus
®
Vehicle Protection Plan. This plan offers quality mechanical protection long after your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.
The Security+Plus
® Vehicle Protection Plan is backed by Nissan and designed
exclusively for Nissan owners. From a variety of plans available, you can choose the one
that best fits your driving needs (up to 84 months/100,000 miles!). For the maximum
coverage, you’ll want to opt for Security+Plus Gold Preferred.
Whichever plan you choose, coverage is available throughout the United States. Repair
work will be done at authorized Nissan dealers by Nissan-trained technicians utilizing
Genuine Nissan Parts.
For more information about Security+Plus
® Vehicle Protection Plans, contact your
participating Nissan dealer.
The quality of Genuine Nissan Parts and Accessories is backed by the integrity of a
Genuine Nissan Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty. If purchased within
the basic coverage period of 36 months/36,000 miles, Genuine Nissan Parts and
Accessories are covered by the remaining period of the warranty. If the remaining period is
less than 12 months/12,000 miles (or if the vehicle warranty has expired), then Genuine
Nissan Accessories are covered by their own 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Warranty.
See your Warranty Information Booklet or ask your Nissan dealer for specific details.
CONCERN FOR YOUR SAFETY
Nissan urges you to always use your seat belt whenever you drive. And please make sure
all passengers are buckled up. Keep in mind that air bags are a supplemental restraint
system and must always be used in conjunction with a seat belt.
Also, with a front passenger air bag, a rear-facing child restraint must never be placed
in the front passenger's seat. Children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly
secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts, according to their size. Please see
your owner's manual for more details.
*For complete warranty details, read the Warranty Information Booklet or see your nearest Nissan
dealer.
