Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000003811170
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the front brake and rear brake with a vacuum dust collector. Never blow with com-
pressed air.
CAUTION:
Only use “DOT 3 or DOT 4” brake fluid. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
Always clean with new brake fluid when cleaning the master cylinder, brake caliper and other com-
ponents.
Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil to clean. They may damage rubber parts and
cause improper operation.
Always loosen the brake tube flare nut with a flare nut wrench.
Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with
torque wrench (A).
Always confirm the specified tightening torque when install-
ing the brake pipes.
Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator
and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery nega-
tive terminal before performing the work.
Check that no brake fluid leakage is present after replacing
the parts.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replac-
ing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at
very low mileage.
- Front brake pad: refer to BR-13, "
BRAKE PAD : Inspection and Adjustment".
- Front disc rotor: refer to BR-13, "
DISC ROTOR : Inspection and Adjustment".
- Rear brake pad: refer to BR-15, "

FRONT DISC BRAKE
BRAKE PAD
BRAKE PAD : Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000003811179
INSPECTION
Check brake pad wear thickness from an inspection hole on cylinder
body. Check using a scale if necessary.
ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
Burnish contact surfaces between pads according to the following procedure after refinishing or
replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate firmly/securely until pads and disc
rotor are securely fitted.
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.
DISC ROTOR
DISC ROTOR : Inspection and AdjustmentINFOID:0000000003811180
INSPECTION
Appearance
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace if there are any abnormal
conditions.
Runout
1. Fix the disc rotor to the wheel hub and bearing assembly with
wheel nuts (2 points at least).
2. Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection.
Refer to FA X - 6 , "
Inspection".
3. Inspect the runout with a dial indicator to measured at 10 mm
(0.39 in) inside the disc edge.
4. Find the installation position with a minimum runout by shifting the disc rotor-to-wheel hub and bearing
assembly installation position by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit value.
5. Replace or refinish the disc rotor if the runout is outside the limit even after performing the above opera-
tion.

FRONT DISC BRAKE
1. Install the pad retainer to the torque member if the pad retainers has been removed.
CAUTION:
Securely assemble the pad retainers so that it will not be lifted up from the torque member.
Never deform the pad retainers.
2. Apply copper based brake grease to the mating faces between the brake pads and pad retainers.
3. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based grease to the mating faces between the brake
pads, shims and shim cover, and install them to the brake pad.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic MaintenanceINFOID:0000000003858222
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE
(Annual Mileage < 30,000 km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace,[ ] = At the specified mileage only.
NOTE:
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Condi-
tions”.
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
(3) Use Genuine NISSAN Engine Coolant or equivalent in its quality, in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within
the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant.
First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform "I" (Checking
the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL
