The Altima temperature gauge can glance at hovering on broiling summer days.
The 2001 Nissan Altima's engine was plentiful at the plant with antifreeze/coolant to supply anti-freezing Safeguard in the winter and overheating Safeguard in the summer, according to the Nissan owner's jotter. The coolant product includes rust and anti-corrosion inhibitors. A coolant temperature gauge is if on the dashboard to assist with troubleshooting the engine cooling transaction. Problems with the cooling process can combine the van overheating.
Instructions
1. Recorder the coolant temperature gauge on the sprint whether you suspect the Altima might be overheating. The gauge indicates if the coolant is within the natural gamut or has overheated. Whether the gauge registers between the "C" and "H" gradations, the engine is operating within sheltered limits and no dash is required. Be aware that the temperature gauge can scan formidable on broiling summer days, however the engine is not overheating unless the gauge pointer goes into the gradation above "H."
2. Check the radiator when the engine is cold by unscrewing the cap at the top and looking in. If the fluid level is low, add coolant to the radiator. If it's at or below "Min," add coolant to the "Max" level by flipping open the lid and carefully pouring it in. Do not spill coolant on the ground as it is toxic and poses an environmental hazard.
3. Add coolant to the radiator, too, if the plastic reservoir was completely empty. Add coolant to the opaque, plastic coolant reservoir provided the fluid level is low and the engine has been overheating. Allow the engine to cool down first by parking in the shade and shutting off the engine. Check the coolant level in the reservoir. It should be between the "Min" and "Max" levels.
