For additional information on brake fluid specifi-
cation, refer to “Recommended fluids/lubricants
and capacities” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual.
WARNING
●Use only new fluid from a sealed con-
tainer. Old, inferior or contaminated
fluid may damage the brake and clutch
(if so equipped) systems. The use of
improper fluids can damage the brake
and clutch system and affect the vehi-
cle’s stopping ability.
● Clean the filler cap before removing.
● Brake and clutch fluid is poisonous and
should be stored carefully in marked
containers out of reach of children.
CAUTION
Do not spill the fluid on any painted sur-
faces. This will damage the paint. If fluid is
spilled, immediately wash the surface with
water.
BRAKE FLUID
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. If the
fluid level is below the MIN line
B, or the brake
warning light comes on, add Genuine NISSAN
Brake Fluid or equivalent DOT 3fluid up to the
MAX line
A. If fluid must be added frequently,
the system should be checked by a NISSAN
dealer.
CLUTCH (if so equipped) FLUID
Check the fluid level in the reservoir. The brake
fluid reservoir is shared with the clutch hydraulic
system for manual transmissions. If the level is
below the MIN line
B, or the brake warning light
comes on, add Genuine NISSAN Brake Fluid or
equivalent DOT 3fluid up to the MAX line
A.If
fluid must be added frequently, the system should
be checked by a NISSAN dealer.

Contact a NISSAN dealer if checking or replace-
ment is required.If the brakes do not operate properly, have the
brakes checked by a NISSAN dealer.Self-adjusting brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.
The front disc-type brakes self-adjust every time
the brake pedal is applied. The rear drum-type
brakes self-adjust every time the parking brake is
applied.
WARNING
See a NISSAN dealer for a brake system
check if the brake pedal height does not
return to normal.
Brake pad wear indicators
The disc brake pads on your vehicle have audible
wear indicators. When a brake pad requires re-
placement, a high pitched scraping or screech-
ing sound will be heard when the vehicle is in
motion. The noise will be heard whether or not the
brake pedal is depressed. Have the brakes
checked as soon as possible if the wear indicator
sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions, occa-
sional brake squeak, squeal or other noise may
be heard. Occasional brake noise during light tomoderate 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 regard-
ing brake inspections, refer to the appropriate
maintenance schedule information in the
“NISSAN Service and Maintenance Guide”.

CAUTION
●High-pressure halogen gas is sealed in-
side the bulb. The bulb may break if the
glass envelope is scratched or the bulb
is dropped.
● Aiming should not be necessary after
replacing the H4 bulb. When aiming ad-
justment is necessary, contact a
NISSAN dealer.
● Do not leave the headlight assembly
open without a bulb installed for a long
period of time. Dust, moisture, smoke,
etc. entering the headlight body may
affect bulb performance. Remove the
bulb from the headlight assembly just
before a replacement bulb is installed.
● Only touch the base when handling the
bulb. Never touch the glass envelope.
Touching the glass could significantly
affect bulb life and/or headlight
performance.
● Use the same number and wattage as
shown in the chart.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector
Afrom
the rear end of the bulb. 3. Pull off the rubber cap
B.
4. Push and turn the retaining pin
Cto loosen
it.
5. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake or rotate the bulb when removing it.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of removal.
Fog may temporarily form inside the lens of the
exterior lights in the rain or in a car wash. A
temperature difference between the inside and
the outside of the lens causes the fog. This is not
a malfunction. If large drops of water collect
inside the lens, contact a NISSAN dealer.
HEADLIGHT AIM
The aim of the headlights may require adjustment
when replacing the headlight assembly or when
the vehicle’s front body has been repaired. When
the adjustment is required, follow these proce-
dures, or have them adjusted by a NISSAN
dealer.
Before performing the headlights aim adjust-
ment:
● Check the pressure of all tires for the correct
inflation pressure.
● Check that the tools and spare tire are
stowed securely.

●Check that the fuel and lubricants levels are
filled to correct capacities.
● Unload all luggage and other items, which
may influence the vehicle’s height level.
● Load a weight on the driver’s seat that is
equivalent to the weight of a driver.
Stopping the vehicle
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface vertical to
the wall or screen to which the headlights
will be projected.
2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to deter- mine the point P as shown in the illustration.
The point P must be:
“H” is the distance between the headlight’s
center point to the level surface.
“WL” is the distance between the left and
right headlights’ centers.
3. Mark point P on the wall or screen. 4. Back up the vehicle 5,000 mm (197.0 in,
16.4 ft) straight away from the wall or
screen.
”L” is the distance between the wall or
screen to the vehicle’s front bumper.
5. Apply the parking brake.

Adjusting the headlight aim
Be sure that the vehicle is parked directly vertical
to the wall on which the headlights will be pro-
jected.1. Turn on the headlight low beam
2. Open the hood.
3. Turn the aiming adjustment screws
12,
located inside the engine compartment, until
the headlight projection, on the wall or
screen, does not move. NOTE:
The aim adjustment screws are located on
each side of the headlights. The lower
screw
1is used to adjust the horizontal
aim. The upper screw
2is used to adjust
the vertical aim.
The screws can be turned indefinitely in
each direction. Therefore be sure to ob-
serve the headlight projection movement
to determine the necessary turning
amount. 4. Turn the lower screws
1in the opposite
direction until the headlight projection be-
comes 70 mm (2.76 in) below the point P.
Once the left headlight has been adjusted,
perform right side adjustment as well.
”C” is the distance between point P and
point
3.
5. Turn the upper screws
2in the opposite
direction until the horizontal headlight pro-
jection’s turn point
3is directly below the
point P. Once the left headlight has been
adjusted, perform right side adjustment as
well.
