–Make sure that joint length “L” of sub-bracket and sliding plate is
4 mm (0.16 in) or more.
–Check brake pedal for bend, damage, and cracks on the welded
parts.

Check clevis pin and plastic stopper for damage and deforma-
tion. If any is found, replace clevis pin.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
Precautions for Brake ControlNFS000Q1

Just after starting vehicle after ignition switch ON, brake pedal may vibrate or motor operating noise may
be heard from engine compartment. This is normal condition.

When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from cus-
tomer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting
diagnostic servicing. Besides electrical system inspection, check brake booster operation, brake fluid
level, and oil leaks.

If tire size and type are used in an improper combination, or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts,
stopping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.

ABS might be out of order or malfunctions by putting a radio (wiring inclusive), an antenna and a lead-in
wire near the control unit.

If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

VDC system may not operate normally or a VDC OFF indicator lamp or SLIP indicator lamp may light.
–When replacing the following parts with parts other than genuine parts or making modifications: Suspen-
sion-related parts (shock absorber, spring, bushing, etc.), tires, wheels (other than specified sizes), brake-
related parts (pad, rotor, caliper, etc.), engine-related parts (muffler, ECM, etc.) and body reinforcement-
related parts (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
–When driving with worn or deteriorated suspension, tires and brake-related parts.

Fuel Gauge Pointer Fluctuates, Indicator Wrong Value or VariesNKS003UB
1. CHECK FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION
Test drive vehicle to see if gauge fluctuates only during driving or at the instant of stopping.
Does the indication value vary only during driving or at the instant of stopping?
YES >> The pointer fluctuation may be caused by fuel level change in the fuel tank. Condition is normal.
NO >> Ask the customer about the situation when the symptom occurs in detail, and perform the trouble
diagnosis.
Fuel Gauge Does Not Move to FULL PositionNKS003UC
1. QUESTION 1
Does it take a long time for the pointer to move to FULL position?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2. QUESTION 2
Was the vehicle fueled with the ignition switch ON?
YES >> Be sure to fuel the vehicle with the ignition switch OFF. Otherwise, it will take a long time to move
to FULL position because of the characteristic of the fuel gauge.
NO >> GO TO 3.
3. QUESTION 3
Is the vehicle parked on an incline?
YES >> Check the fuel level indication with vehicle on a level surface.
NO >> GO TO 4.
4. QUESTION 4
During driving, does the fuel gauge pointer move gradually toward EMPTY position?
YES >> Check the fuel level sensor unit. Refer to DI-26, "CHECK FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT" .
NO >> The float arm may interfere or bind with any of the components in the fuel tank.

COMPASS

COMPASSPFP:24835
Precautions for CompassNKS004F2
NOTE:

Do not install the ski rack, antenna, etc. which is attach to the vehicle with a magnet base. It affects the
operation of the compass.

When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as it may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
System DescriptionNKS004F3

This electronic compass is able to display 8 primary directions: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.

The compass switch (1) is used to operate the compass.
Switch Operation

All standard compasses determine direction relative to Magnetic North; however, this electronic compass
is designed to display direction relative to True North.

The difference between Magnetic North and True North varies from place to place across the surface of
the earth.

This electronic compass must be “told” approximately where it is on the earth’s surface so that the Mag-
netic North reading can be properly converted into a True North display.

To tell the electronic compass where it’s at, the earth is separated into numbered “Zone Variances”. The
Zone Variance number in which the compass is to function must be entered into this electronic compass.

Each zone is magnetically about 4.2° wide. Typically, anything under 22.5° total zone change is not
noticed on the electronic compass display. However, over 22.5°, a reading may be off by one or more pri-
mary directions.

On long trips, a vehicle may leave its original zone and enter one or more new zones. Generally, you do
not need to reset the compass zone if you travel between 3 or 4 zones, such as business travel or vaca-
tion. The typical driver will not notice any difference on the display within 3 or 4 zones. However, if the
vehicle is “permanently” moved to a new location, it is recommended that the compass zone be reset.(1) : Compass switch
