Overall Function Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high-pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow built up pressure to escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.
