Precautions When Working On ABS
lUse recommended tyres in combination with ABS.
lInstall tyres or studded tyres, etc. with the same size.
lIf different sizes of tyres, or tyres other than the ones
recommended for use with the ABS, are fitted, stopping
distance will increase and control and stability could
deteriorate.
lWhen changing brake pads, use Nissan genuine parts.
lWhen fitting radios etc, do not position the radio unit,
antenna, or antenna cables within an area of about 100
mm (3.94 in) of the control unit.
lWhen doing any work that requires electro-welding, first
remove the control unit.
lMake sure when taking a power supply for the audio,
lamps etc., not to take this from any ABS-related har-
ness. (Refer to the electrical wiring diagrams for ABS-
related harnesses)
