BRAKING PRECAUTIONS
The brake system has two separate hydra�flic
circ�fits�b If one circ�fit malf�fnctions, yo�f will still
have braking at two wheels�b
Yo�f may feel a small click and hear a so�fnd
when the brake pedal is f�flly depressed slowly�b
This is not a malf�fnction and indicates that the
brake assist mechanism is operating properly�b
Vacuum assisted brakes
The brake booster aids braking by �fsing engine
vac�f�fm�b If the engine stops, yo�f can stop the
vehicle by depressing the brake pedal�b However,
greater foot press�fre on the brake pedal will be
req�fired to stop the vehicle and the stopping
distance will be longer�b
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven thro�fgh
water, the brakes may get wet�b As a res�flt, yo�fr
braking distance will be longer and the vehicle
may p�fll to one side d�fring braking�b
To dry brakes, drive the vehicle at a safe speed
while lightly tapping the brake pedal to heat-�fp
the brakes�b Do this �fntil the brakes ret�frn to
normal�b Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds
�fntil the brakes f�fnction correctly�b
Using the brakes
Avoid resting yo�fr foot on the brake pedal while
driving�b This will ca�fse overheating of the
brakes, wearing o�ft the brake and pads faster
and red�fce gas mileage�b
To help red�fce brake wear and to prevent the
brakes from overheating, red�fce speed and
downshift to a lower gear before going down a
slope or long grade�b Overheated brakes may
red�fce braking performance and co�fld res�flt in
loss of vehicle control�b
WARNING
.While driving on a slippery surface,
be careful when braking, accelerat-
ing or downshifting. Abrupt braking
or accelerating could cause the
wheels to skid and result in an
accident.
. If the engine is not running or is
turned off while driving, the power
assist for the brakes will not work.
Braking will be harder.
PARKING BRAKE BREAK-IN
Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the
stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened
or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or
dr�fms/rotors are replaced, in order to ass�fre the
best braking performance�b
This proced�fre is described in the vehicle
service man�fal and can be performed by a
GT-R certified NISSAN dealer�b
