If the brakes do not operate properly, have
the brakes checked. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.

Self-adjusting brakes

Your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting
brakes.

The front disc-type brakes self-adjust ev-
ery time the brake pedal is applied. The rear

Brake pad wear indicators

The disc brake pads on your vehicle have
audible wear indicators. When a brake pad
requires

replacement,

high

pitched

scraping or screeching 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.

Replacing the halogen headlight
bulb

The headlight is a semi-sealed beam type
which uses a replaceable headlight (halo-
gen) bulb. They can be replaced from inside

the engine compartment without remov-
ing the headlight assembly.

CAUTION

∙ High-pressure halogen gas is sealed

inside 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
adjustment is necessary, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

∙ 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 enve-
lope. Touching the glass could signifi-
cantly affect bulb life and/or head-
light performance.

∙ Use the same number and wattage as

shown in the chart.

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.

2. Disconnect the electrical connector

䊊

from the rear end of the bulb.

3. Pull off the rubber cap

䊊

4. Push and turn the retaining pin

䊊

loosen it.

5. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not

shake or rotate the bulb when remov-
ing 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,
it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for servicing.

HEADLIGHT AIM

The aim of the headlights may require ad-
justment when replacing the headlight as-
sembly or when the vehicle’s front body
has been repaired. When the adjustment is
required, follow these procedures, or have
them adjusted by a NISSAN dealer.

Before performing the headlights aim ad-
justment:

∙ 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 verti-

cal to the wall or screen to which the
headlights will be projected.

2. Move the vehicle close to the wall to

determine the point P as shown in the
illustration.

The point P must be:

“H” is the distance between the head-
light’s center point to the level surface.

“WL” is the distance between the left
and right headlights’ centers.

LDI2422

LDI2423

8-24

Do-it-yourself

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 projected.

1. Turn on the headlight low beam

2. Open the hood.

3. Turn the aiming adjustment screws

䊊

, located inside the engine compart-

ment, 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

䊊

is used to adjust the horizontal

aim. The upper screw

䊊

is used to adjust

the vertical aim.

The screws can be turned indefinitely in
each direction. Therefore be sure to ob-
serve the headlight projection move-
ment to determine the necessary turn-
ing amount.

Do-it-yourself

8-25

4. Turn the lower screws

䊊

in the oppo-

site direction until the headlight projec-
tion becomes 70 mm (2.76 in) below the
point P. Once the left headlight has
been adjusted, perform right side ad-
justment as well.

”C” is the distance between point P and
point

䊊

5. Turn the upper screws

䊊

in the oppo-

site direction until the horizontal head-
light projection’s turn point

䊊

is di-

rectly below the point P. Once the left
headlight has been adjusted, perform
right side adjustment as well.

FOG LIGHTS (if so equipped)

For additional information on fog light bulb
replacement, refer to the instructions out-
lined in this section.

Replacing the fog light bulb

If replacement is required, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

CAUTION

∙ High pressure halogen gas is sealed

inside the halogen bulb. The bulb may
break

the

glass

envelope

scratched or the bulb is dropped.

∙ When handling the bulb, do not touch

the glass envelope.

∙ Use the same number and wattage as

originally installed as shown in the
chart.

∙ Do not leave the bulb out of the fog

light for a long period of time as dust,
moisture and smoke may enter the
fog light body and affect the perfor-
mance of the fog light.

If you have a flat tire, refer to “Flat tire” in

TIRE PRESSURE

Tire inflation pressure

Check the tire pressures (including
the spare) often and always prior to
long distance trips. The recom-
mended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label under the “Cold
Tire Pressure” heading. The Tire and
Loading Information label is affixed
to the driver side center pillar. Tire
pressures should be checked regu-
larly because:

∙ Most tires naturally lose air over

time.

∙ Tires can lose air suddenly when

driven over potholes or other ob-
jects or if the vehicle strikes a
curb while parking.

The

tire

pressures

should

checked when the tires are cold. The
tires are considered COLD after the
vehicle has been parked for 3 or
more hours or driven less than
1.6 km (1 mile) at moderate speeds.

Incorrect tire pressure, including
under inflation, may adversely af-
fect tire life and vehicle handling.

WARNING

∙ Improperly inflated tires can fail

suddenly and cause an accident.

∙ The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR) is located on the C.M-
.V.S.S. certification label. The ve-
hicle weight capacity is indi-
cated on the Tire and Loading
Information label. Do not load
your vehicle beyond this capac-
ity. Overloading your vehicle
may result in reduced tire life,
unsafe

operating

conditions

due to premature tire failure, or
unfavorable handling charac-
teristics and could also lead to a

serious accident. Loading be-
yond

the

specified

capacity

may also result in failure of
other vehicle components.

∙ Before taking a long trip, or

whenever you heavily load your
vehicle, use

tire

pressure

gauge to ensure that the tire
pressures are at the specified
level.

∙ For additional information re-

garding

tires,

refer

“Tire

Safety Information” (Canada) in
the

Warranty

Information

Booklet.
