Checking Cooling System For Leaks
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of personal injury, do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn it a quarter of a turn to release built up pressure. Carefully remove the radiator cap by turning it all the way.
To check the cooling system for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system using Tools (A), (B), (C) and (D).
