vacuum. Ifthe engine stops,youcan stop thevehicle
by depressing thefoot brake pedal. However, greater
foot pressure onthe foot brake pedalwillberequired
to stop thevehicle. Thestopping distancewillbe

If the engine isnot running oristurned offwhile driving,

Do not coast withtheengine stopped.
Using brakes
T32A130 827-7685AB CE-3DB1-41 CC-B5B8-18 AA17ED1ABA
Avoid resting yourfootonthe foot brake pedalwhile
driving. Thiswilloverheat thebrakes, wearoutthe
brake linings/pads faster,andincrease fuelconsump-
tion.
T o help reduce brakewearandtoprevent thebrakes
from overheating, reducespeedanddownshift toa

Overheated brakesmayreduce braking performance
and could resultinloss ofvehicle control.
While driving onaslippery surface, becareful when
braking, accelerating ordownshifting. Abruptbraking
or acceleration couldcause thewheels toskid and
result inan accident.

ANTI-L OCKBRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
T32A130 827-683C35 C0-5BE2-4929-8230-2F12153688C 3
WARNING:
. The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)isa
sophisticated device,butitcannot prevent
accidents resultingfromcareless ordanger-
ous driving techniques. Itcan help maintain
vehicle control duringbraking onslippery
surfaces. Remember thatstopping distances
on slippery surfaces willbelonger thanon
normal surfaces evenwithABS. Stopping
distances mayalso belonger onrough,
gravel orsnow covered roads,orifyou are
using tirechains. Always maintain asafe
distance fromthevehicle infront ofyou.
Ultimately, thedriver isresponsible for
safety.
. Tire type andcondition mayalso affect
braking effectiveness.
Ð When replacing tires,install thespeci-
fied size oftires onallfour wheels. Ð
When installing aspare tire,make sure
that itis the proper sizeandtype as
specified onthe tire placard. (SeeªTire
placardº (P.9-9) .)
Ð For detailed information, seeªTires and
wheelsº (P.8-36) .
The Anti-lock BrakingSystem(ABS)controls the
brakes sothe wheels donot lock during hardbraking
or when braking onslippery surfaces. Thesystem
detects therotation speedateach wheel andvaries
the brake fluidpressure toprevent eachwheel from
locking andsliding. Bypreventing eachwheel from
locking, thesystem helpsthedriver maintain steering
control andhelps tominimize swerving andspinning
on slippery surfaces.
Using system
T32A130 827-E23B0 C95-6959-4 B5D-B45D-1644E60AD E90
Depress thebrake pedalandhold itdown. Depress
the brake pedal withfirmsteady pressure, butdonot
pump thebrakes. TheABS willoperate toprevent the
wheels fromlocking up.Steer thevehicle toavoid

Self-test feature
T32A1308 27-DA8726AA -9312-4804-BB85-3 097CB09683D
The ABS includes electronic sensors,electricpumps,
hydraulic solenoids andacomputer. Thecomputer has
a built-in diagnostic featurethattests thesystem each
time youstart theengine andmove thevehicle atalow
speed inforward orreverse. Whentheself-test
occurs, youmay hear aªclunkº noiseand/or feela
pulsation inthe brake pedal. Thisisnormal anddoes
not indicate amalfunction. Ifthe computer sensesamalfunction,
itswitches theABS offand illuminates the
ABS warning lightonthe meter. Thebrake system then
operates normally,but without anti-lock assistance.
If the ABS warning lightilluminates duringtheself-test
or while driving, havethevehicle checked bya
NISSAN dealer.
Normal operation
T32A130 827-E5A825 64-C0DC-4321-8A21-CC D22D746C00
The ABS operates atspeeds above5to 10 km/h (3to
6 MPH) .The speed variesaccording toroad condi-
tions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels are
close tolocking up,the actuator rapidlyapplies and
releases hydraulic pressure. Thisaction issimilar to
pumping thebrakes veryquickly .You may feela
pulsation inthe brake pedalandhear anoise from
under thehood orfeel avibration fromtheactuator
when itis operating. Thisisnormal andindicates that
the ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsation
may indicate thatroad conditions arehazardous and
extra careisrequired whiledriving.

108 N´m (11kg-m, 80ft-lb)
The wheel nutsmust bekept tightened to
specification atall times. Itis recommended
that thewheel nutsbetightened tospecification
at each lubrication interval.
WARNING:
Retighten thewheel nutswhen thevehicle has
been driven for1,000 km(600 miles) (alsoin
cases ofaflat tire, etc.).
For models equipped withTirePressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)
GUID-16DE 3A91-C3BF -444C-BA0B-738A18EB BE53
. After adjusting thetire pressure, theTPMS must
be reset. SeeªTire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)º (P.6-2) ,ªTire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)º (P.5-4) andªTire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS)º (P.8-36) fordetails aboutthe
resetting procedure.
. After adjusting tirepressure tothe COLD tire
pressure, thedisplay ofthe tire pressures (if
equipped inthe vehicle information display)may
show higher pressure thantheCOLD tire
pressure afterthevehicle hasbeen driven more
than 1.6km(1mile) .This isbecause thetire
pressurizes asthe tire temperature rises.This
does notindicate asystem malfunction.
