Check the coolant level and top up the cool-
ant, observing the warning notes (see "If your
vehicle overheats" in the "6. In case of emer-
gency" section).
If you have to top up the coolant frequently,
have the engine cooling system checked.
Make sure that the air supply to the engine
radiator is not blocked, e. g. by frozen slush.

you visit an INFINITI retailer for these ser-
vices.
