CAUTION

After wiper blade replacement, return

the wiper arm to its original position;
otherwise it may be damaged when the
hood is opened.

Make sure the wiper blades contact the

glass; otherwise the arms may be dam-
aged from wind pressure.

If you wax the surface of the hood, be careful not
to let wax get into the washer nozzle

A

. This may

cause clogging or improper windshield-washer
operation. If wax gets into the nozzle, remove it
with a needle or small pin

B

.

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 (and rear– if so equipped) disc-type
brakes self-adjust every time the brake pedal is
applied. The rear drum-type brakes (if so
equipped) 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.
