CHECKING PARKING BRAKE
From the released position, push the park-
ing brake foot lever down. If the number of
clicks is out of the range listed above, see
an authorized NISSAN dealer.
CHECKING BRAKE PEDAL
With the engine running, check the distance
between the upper surface of the pedal and
the floor. If it is out of the range shown
above, see an authorized NISSAN dealer.
Self-adjusting brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.
The front disc-type brakes self-adjust every
time the brake pedal is applied. The rear
drum-type brakes also self-adjust every
time the brake pedal is applied. If the brakepedal goes down farther than normal, see
an authorized NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
See an authorized NISSAN dealer for a
brake system check if the brake pedal
height does not return to normal.
Brake pad wear indicators
The disc pads on your vehicle have audible
wear indicators. When a brake pad requires
replacement, it makes a high pitched scrap-
ing or screeching sound when the vehicle is
in motion whether or not the brake pedal is
depressed. Have the brakes checked as
soon as possible if the wear indicator sound
is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions,
occasional brake squeak, squeal or other
noise may be heard. Occasional brake
noise during light to moderate stops is nor-
mal and does not affect the function or
performance of the brake system.
The rear drum brakes do not have audible
wear indicators. If you ever hear an unusu-
ally loud noise from the rear drum brakes,
have them inspected as soon as possible by
an authorized NISSAN dealer.
