operational.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates whiletheengine is
running, orwhile driving, itmay indicate theABS isnot

mark onthe brake fluidreservoir, donot
drive thevehicle untilthebrake system has
been checked byaNISSAN dealer.
. Even ifyou judge itto be safe, haveyour
vehicle towedbecause drivingitcould be
dangerous.
. Depressing thebrake pedalwithout the
engine running and/orwithalow brake
fluid level could increase thestopping dis-
tance andrequire greater pedaltravel dis-
tance andeffort.

T32A1308 27-808BD 7D2-9BE0-4 70E-A660-24 B385D4FB8A
This transmission hasahigh fluidtemperature protec-

(for example, whenclimbing steepgrades inhigh
temperature withheavy loads),engine powerand,
under someconditions, vehiclespeedwillbede-

Fail-safe
T32A1308 27-5877C8 5B-EA11-4DD 6-9D52-6992317A74D 5
When thefail-safe operation occurs,theCVT willnot
be shifted tothe selected drivingposition.
If the vehicle isdriven underextreme conditions,
such asexcessive wheelspinning andsubse-
quent hardbraking, thefail-safe systemmaybe
activated. Thiswilloccur evenifall electrical
circuits arefunctioning properly.Inthis case,
turn theignition switchoffand wait for10
seconds. Thenplace theignition switchbackin
the ªONº position. Thevehicle shouldreturnto
its normal operating condition. Ifitdoes not
return toits normal operating condition, havea
NISSAN dealercheckthetransmission and
repair itifnecessary.
WARNING:
When thefail-safe operation occurs,vehicle
speed maybegradually reduced.Thereduced
speed maybelower thanother traffic,which
could increase thechance ofacollision. Be
especially carefulwhendriving. Ifnecessary, pull
to the side ofthe road atasafe place andallow
the transmission toreturn tonormal operation,

BRAKE ASSIST
GUID-FAF 01B0B-7CB4-4828-9 4D6-A67EB1907396
When theforce applied tothe brake pedalexceeds a
certain level,theBrake Assist isactivated generating
greater braking forcethanaconventional brake
booster evenwithlight pedal force.
WARNING:
The Brake Assist isonly anaid toassist braking
operation andisnot acollision warningor
avoidance device.Itis the driver's responsibility
to stay alert, drivesafely andbeincontrol ofthe
vehicle atall times.
ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
T32A130 827-683C35 C0-5BE2-4929-8230-2F12153688C 3
WARNING:
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)isa
sophisticated device,butitcannot prevent
accidents resultingfromcareless ordanger-
ous driving techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking onslippery
surfaces. Remember thatstopping distances
on slippery surfaces willbelonger thanon
normal surfaces evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger onrough,
gravel orsnow covered roads,orifyou are
using tirechains. Always maintain asafe
distance fromthevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible for
safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso affect
braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install thespeci-
fied size oftires onallfour wheels. Ð
When installing aspare tire,make sure
that itis the proper sizeandtype as
specified onthe tire placard. (SeeªTire
placardº (P.9-9) .)
Ð For detailed information, seeªTires and
wheelsº (P.8-36) .
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls the
brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hardbraking
or when braking onslippery surfaces. Thesystem
detects therotation speedateach wheel andvaries
the brake fluidpressure toprevent eachwheel from
locking andsliding. Bypreventing eachwheel from
locking, thesystem helpsthedriver maintain steering
control andhelps tominimize swerving andspinning
on slippery surfaces.
Using system
T32A130 827-E23B0 C95-6959-4 B5D-B45D-1644E60AD E90
Depress thebrake pedalandhold itdown. Depress
the brake pedal withfirmsteady pressure, butdonot
pump thebrakes. TheABS willoperate toprevent the
wheels fromlocking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid
obstacles.
WARNING:
Do not pump thebrake pedal. Doingsomay
result inincreased stoppingdistances.
Self-test feature
T32A1308 27-DA8726AA -9312-4804-BB85-3 097CB09683D
The ABS includes electronic sensors,electricpumps,
hydraulic solenoids andacomputer. Thecomputer has
a built-in diagnostic featurethattests thesystem each
time youstart theengine andmove thevehicle atalow
speed inforward orreverse. Whentheself-test
occurs, youmay hear aªclunkº noiseand/or feela
pulsation inthe brake pedal. Thisisnormal anddoes
not indicate amalfunction. Ifthe computer sensesamalfunction,
itswitches theABS offand illuminates the
ABS warning lightonthe meter. Thebrake system then
operates normally,but without anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates duringtheself-test
or while driving, havethevehicle checked bya
NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
T32A130 827-E5A825 64-C0DC-4321-8A21-CC D22D746C00
The ABS operates atspeeds above5to 10 km/h (3to
6 MPH) .The speed variesaccording toroad condi-
tions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels are
close tolocking up,the actuator rapidlyapplies and
releases hydraulic pressure. Thisaction issimilar to
pumping thebrakes veryquickly .You may feela
pulsation inthe brake pedalandhear anoise from
under thehood orfeel avibration fromtheactuator
when itis operating. Thisisnormal andindicates that
the ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsation
may indicate thatroad conditions arehazardous and
extra careisrequired whiledriving.
