BRAKES

CHECKING FOOT BRAKE

Self-adjusting brakes

Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting

brakes. The disc-type brakes self-adjust every

time the foot brake pedal is applied.

CHECKING PARKING BRAKE

Brake pad wear warning

The disc brake pads have audible wear warn-

ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it

will make a high pitched scraping sound when

the vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound

will first occur only when the brake pedal is

depressed. After more wear of the brake pad,

the sound will always be heard even if the

brake pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes

checked as soon as possible if the wear

warning sound is heard.

Under some driving or climate conditions,

occasional brake squeaks, squeals or other

noises may be heard. Occasional brake noise

during light to moderate stops is normal and

does not affect the function or performance of

the brake system.

WARNING:

depressing the foot brake pedal, then turn

it off. Depress the foot brake pedal several

times. The pedal travel distance will de-

crease gradually with each depression as

the hydraulic pressure decreases.

Use only new fluid from a sealed contain-

er. Old, inferior, or contaminated fluid

may damage the brake system. The use

of improper fluids can damage the brake

system and affect the vehicle’s stopping

ability.

1. Be sure the ignition switch is in the “OFF” or

“LOCK” position.

2. Depress and release the foot brake pedal

more than 40 times.

3. Open the reservoir filler cap and add brake

fluid up to the MAX line . (See “Recom-

mended fluids/lubricants and capacities”

(P.9-2) for the recommended types of brake

fluid.)

If the brakes do not operate properly, have the

brakes checked by a NISSAN dealer.
