TIRE ROTATION

• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.

Refer to 

MA-9, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Introduction of Periodic

Maintenance"

 (United States and Canada) or 

MA-12, "FOR MEX-

ICO : Periodic Maintenance"

 (Mexico).

• When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified

torque.

CAUTION:

• Do not include the spare tire when rotating the tires.

• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing

the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels

from developing any distortion.

• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the

criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.

• Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.

• Perform the ID registration after tire rotation. Refer to 

WT-30, "Description"

.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS : Inspection

INFOID:0000000009174200

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

• Make sure that the brake fluid level in the reservoir sub tank is

between the MAX and MIN lines.

• Visually check around the reservoir sub tank and reservoir tank for

brake fluid leakage.

• If the brake fluid level is excessively low, check the brake system

for leakage.

• If brake warning lamp remains illuminated after parking brake

pedal is released, check the brake system for brake fluid leakage.

BRAKE LINE

1. Check brake line (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged

parts.

2. Check for brake fluid leakage by fully depressing brake pedal

while engine is running.

CAUTION:

If brake fluid leakage occurs around joints, retighten or

replace damaged parts as necessary.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE

BRAKE LINES AND CABLES : Inspection

INFOID:0000000009174201

• Check brake fluid lines and parking brake cables for improper

attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.

BRAKE FLUID
BRAKE FLUID : Drain and Refill

INFOID:0000000009174202

CAUTION:

• Do not spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may damage paint. If brake fluid is

splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

• Prior to repair, turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control

unit) connector or negative battery terminal. Refer to 

PG-90, "Removal and Installation"

.

• Refill brake system with new brake fluid. Refer to 

MA-15, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and

Lubricants"

 (United States and Canada) or 

MA-16, "FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants"

 (Mexico).

• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

DRAINING

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or nega-

tive battery terminal. Refer to 

PG-90, "Removal and Installation"

.

2. Connect a vinyl tube to bleeder valve.
3. Depress brake pedal, loosen bleeder valve, and gradually

remove brake fluid.

REFILLING

1. Make sure no foreign material is in the reservoir sub-tank, and

refill with new brake fluid. 

CAUTION:

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

2. Refill the brake system as follows:

• Depress the brake pedal.

• Loosen bleeder valve.

• Slowly depress brake pedal to 2/3 of the brake pedal full

stroke.

• Tighten bleeder valve.

• Release brake pedal.

Repeat this operation at intervals of two or three seconds until

all old brake fluid is discharged. Add new brake fluid to master cylinder reservoir sub tank frequently.

CAUTION:

Do not allow master cylinder reservoir to empty as this may cause damage to master cylinder

internal components.

3. Bleed the air out of the brake hydraulic system. Refer to 

BR-16, "Bleeding Brake System"

.

Check brake pad wear thickness from an inspection hole (A) on cyl-

inder body. Check using a scale if necessary. 

FRONT BRAKE : Inspection of Rotor

INFOID:0000000009174204

VISUAL

Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks or damage. Replace if any abnormal conditions exist.

THICKNESS

Check the wear thickness of the disc rotor using a micrometer.

Replace the disc rotor if the thickness is below the wear limit.
