BRAKE FLUID  
3. With the foot brake pedal depressed, stop  
the engine. Keep the pedal depressed for  
about 30 seconds. The pedal height should  
not change.  
Self-adjusting brakes  
WARNING:  
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting  
brakes. The disc-type brakes self-adjust every  
time the foot brake pedal is applied.  
.
Use only new fluid from a sealed contain-  
er. Old, inferior, or contaminated fluid  
may damage the brake system. The use  
of improper fluids can damage the brake  
system and affect the vehicle’s stopping  
ability.  
4. Run the engine for  
1
minute without  
Brake pad wear warning  
depressing the foot brake pedal, then turn  
it off. Depress the foot brake pedal several  
times. The pedal travel distance will de-  
crease gradually with each depression as  
the vacuum is released from the booster.  
The disc brake pads have audible wear warn-  
ings. When a brake pad requires replacement, it  
will make a high pitched scraping sound when  
the vehicle is in motion. This scraping sound  
will first occur only when the brake pedal is  
depressed. After more wear of the brake pad,  
the sound will always be heard even if the  
brake pedal is not depressed. Have the brakes  
checked as soon as possible if the wear  
warning sound is heard.  
.
.
Clean the filler cap before removing.  
Brake fluid is poisonous and should be  
stored carefully in marked containers out  
of the reach of children.  
If the brakes do not operate properly, have the  
brakes checked by a NISSAN dealer.  
CAUTION:  
Do not spill the fluid on painted surfaces. This  
will damage the paint. If fluid is spilled, wash  
it off with plenty of water immediately.  
Under some driving or climate conditions,  
occasional brake squeaks, squeals or other  
noises may be heard. Occasional brake noise  
during light to moderate stops is normal and  
does not affect the function or performance of  
the brake system.  
Proper brake inspection intervals should be  
followed. For additional information, see  
separate maintenance booklet.  
a
BRAKE BOOSTER  
Check the brake booster function as follows:  
1. With the engine off, depress and release the  
foot brake pedal several times. When the  
brake pedal movement (distance of travel)  
remains the same from one pedal applica-  
tion to the next, continue on to the next  
step.

2. While depressing the foot brake pedal, start  
the engine. The pedal height should drop a  
little.
