Contact a NISSAN dealer if replacement is required.
Major engine cooling system repair should be per-
formed by a NISSAN dealer. The service procedures
can be found in the appropriate NISSAN Service
Manual.
Improper servicing can result in reduced heater
performance and engine overheating.
WARNING:
. To avoid 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 reach of children and
pets.
Engine coolant must be disposed of properly. Check
your local regulations.
