BRAKES  
It is recommended you contact a NISSAN  
dealer if checking or replacement is  
required.  
If the brakes do not operate properly, it is  
recommended you have the brakes  
checked by a NISSAN dealer.  
SELF-ADJUSTING BRAKES  
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjust-  
ing brakes.  
The disc-type brakes self-adjust every  
time the brake pedal is applied.  
WARNING  
Have your brake system checked if  
the brake pedal height does not  
return to normal. It is recommended  
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this  
service.  
BRAKE PAD WEAR WARNING  
The disc brake pads have audible wear  
warnings. 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.
