Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
9.7. If your vehicle overheats
Never continue driving if your vehicle overheats. Doing so could cause a vehicle fire.
Never open the bonnet if steam is coming out.
Never remove the radiator or coolant reservoir cap while the engine is hot. If the radiator or coolant reservoir cap is removed when the engine is hot, pressurised hot water will spurt out and possibly cause burning, scalding or serious injury.
If steam or coolant is coming from the engine, stand clear of the vehicle to prevent getting burned.
The engine cooling fan will start at anytime when the coolant temperature exceeds preset degrees.
Be careful not to allow your hands, hair, jewellery or clothing to come into contact with, or to get caught in the cooling fan or drive belts.
If your vehicle is overheating (indicated by an extremely high temperature gauge reading), or if you feel a lack of traction motor power, detect abnormal noise, etc., take the following steps:
Move the vehicle safely off the road and apply the parking brake.
Push the P position switch to shift to the P (Park) position.
Do not stop the e-POWER system.
Turn off the air conditioner. Open all the windows, move the heater or air conditioner temperature control to maximum hot and fan control to high speed.
Get out of the vehicle. Look and listen for steam or coolant escaping from the radiator or coolant reservoir before opening the bonnet. (If steam or coolant is escaping, turn off the e-POWER system.) Do not open the bonnet further until no steam or coolant can be seen.
Open the engine bonnet.
If steam or water is coming from the traction motor, stand clear to prevent getting burned.
Visually check the drive belt for damage or looseness. Also check if the cooling fan is running. The radiator hoses and radiator should not leak water. If coolant is leaking or the cooling fan does not run, stop the e-POWER system.
Be careful not to allow your hands, hair, jewellery or clothing to come into contact with, or get caught in, engine belts or the engine cooling fan. The engine cooling fan can start at any time.
After the engine cools down, check the coolant level in the reservoir with the engine running. Add coolant to the reservoir if necessary. Have your vehicle repaired by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop or qualified workshop.
