level in the engine coolant reservoir with the
engine running.Do not open the radiator cap
(where fitted).

reservoir cap and add coolant slowly into the
reservoir. After refilling the reservoir to the MAX
level, install the reservoir cap.

cap and to avoid the danger of being scalded,
cover the reservoir cap with a rag and loosen
the reservoir cap to the first notch to allow the

Have your vehicle inspected or repaired by a
NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.When towing your vehicle, local regulations for tow-
ing must be followed. Incorrect towing equipment
could damage your vehicle. To assure proper tow-
ing and to prevent accidental damage to your ve-
hicle, NISSAN recommends that you have a service
operator tow your vehicle. It is advisable to have the
service operator carefully read the following precau-
tions.WARNING

is being towed.
•Never get under your vehicle after it has been
lifted by a tow truck.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS
•When towing:Make sure that the transmission,
axles, steering system and power train are in
working condition. If any unit is damaged, the
vehicle must be towed using a dolly or be placed
on a flat bed lorry.
•Release the handbrake and shift the manual
transmission (MT), or automatic transmission
(AT) into the N (Neutral) position before starting
to tow the vehicle.
•When towing manual transmission models
with the front wheels on the ground:Move the
gear lever to the N (Neutral) position and turn the
ignition switch to the “OFF” position then secure
the steering wheel in a straight ahead position
using a rope or similar device.Never place theignition switch in the LOCK position.This will
result in damage to the steering lock mecha-
nism.
