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
maintenance schedule shown in the “9. Main-
tenance and schedules” section.
BRAKE BOOSTER
Check the brake booster function as follows:
1. With the engine off, depress and release the foot brake pedal more than 20 times. When
the foot 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 foot brake pedal, start the engine.
3. With the foot brake pedal depressed, stop the engine. Keep the pedal depressed for
about 30 seconds.
4. Run the engine for 1 minute without 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 hydraulic pressure decreases. If the brakes do not operate properly, have the
brakes checked. It is recommended that you visit
a NISSAN dealer for repair.
