Self-adjusting brakes Your vehicle is equipped with self-
adjusting brakes.
The disc-type brakes self-adjust every
time the brake pedal is applied.
WARNINGSee an INFINITI dealer for a brake system
check if the brake pedal height does not re-
turn to normal.
Brake pad wear indicators The disc brake pads on your vehicle have
audible wear indicators. When a brake pad
requires replacement, it will make a high
pitched scraping 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 in-
dicator 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
normal and does not affect the function or
performance of the brake system. Proper brake inspection intervals should
be followed. For additional information,
see the appropriate maintenance log
shown in the INFINITI Service and Mainte-
nance Guide.
High performance sports brake pads oc-
casionally make squeaks, squeals or
other braking noises because of their very
high friction coefficient.
These occasional brake noises are
normal, but if they continue, see an
INFINITI dealer.
BRAKE BOOSTER Check the brake booster function as fol-
lows:
1. With the engine off, press and release
the brake pedal several times. When
brake pedal movement (distance of
travel) remains the same from one
pedal application to the next, continue
on to the next step.
2. While depressing the brake pedal,
start the engine. The pedal height
should drop a little. 3. With the brake pedal depressed, stop
the engine. Keeping the pedal de-
pressed for about 30 seconds, the
pedal height should not change.
4. Run the engine for one minute without
depressing the brake pedal, then turn
it off. Depress the brake pedal several
times. The pedal travel distance will
decrease gradually with each depres-
sion as the vacuum is released from
the booster.
If the brakes do not operate properly, see
an INFINITI dealer.

Two types of fuses are used. Type
q A
is
used in the fuse boxes in the engine com-
partment. Type
q B
is used in the passen-
ger compartment fuse box.
Type
q A
fuses are provided as spare
fuses. They are stored in the passenger
compartment fuse box.
Type
q A
fuses can be installed in the en-
gine compartment and passenger com-
partment fuse boxes. If a type
q A
fuse is used to replace a type
q B
fuse, the type
q A
fuse will not be level
with the fuse pocket as shown in the il-
lustration. This will not affect the perfor-
mance of the fuse. Make sure the fuse is
installed in the fuse box securely.
Type
q B
fuses cannot be installed in the
underhood fuse boxes. Only use type
q A
fuses in the underhood fuse boxes. ENGINE COMPARTMENT
CAUTION Never use a fuse of a higher or lower am-
perage rating than that specified on the fuse
box cover. This could damage the electrical
system or cause a fire.

ate, check for an open fuse.

light switch are in the OFF position.SDI1751 SDI1752 SDI1392A
