ping distance and braking will re-
quire greater pedal effort as well as
pedal travel.

system has been checked at an au-
thorized NISSAN dealer.

If the light comes on while the engine is
running, it may indicate something is wrong
with the anti-lock portion of the brake sys-
tem. Have the system checked by an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
anti-lock function turns off, but the brakes
