ROAD WHEEL : Tire Rotation

INFOID:0000000009269073

• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.

Refer to 

MA-6, "Explanation of General Maintenance"

.

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

torque.

CAUTION:

• Do not include the T-type 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-20, "Work Procedure"

.

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

INFOID:0000000009269074

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

• Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified

range between the MAX – MIN lines as shown.

• Visually check for any brake fluid leakage around the reservoir

tank.

• Check the brake system for any leakage if the fluid level is

extremely low (lower than MIN).

• Check the brake system for fluid leakage if the warning lamp

remains illuminated even after the parking brake is released.

• Check the reservoir tank for foreign matter (e.g., dust) and oils

other than brake fluid.

BRAKE LINES AND CABLES

INFOID:0000000009269075

BRAKE LINES

1. Check brake lines (pipes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration or

other damage. Replace any damaged parts.

2. Check for brake fluid leaks by fully depressing brake pedal while

engine is running.

CAUTION:

Retighten the applicable connection to the specified torque

and repair any abnormal (damaged, worn or deformed) part

if any brake fluid leaks are present.

BRAKE FLUID
BRAKE FLUID : Draining

INFOID:0000000009269076

CAUTION:

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

it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative terminal before performing work.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleed valve.
2. Depress the brake pedal and loosen the bleeder valve to gradu-

ally discharge brake fluid.

BRAKE FLUID : Refilling

INFOID:0000000009269077

CAUTION:

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative terminal before performing work.

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

it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.

1. Check that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and

refill with new brake fluid.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

• Do not allow foreign matter (e.g., dust) and oils other than

brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.

2. Loosen the bleeder valve, slowly depress the brake pedal to the

full stroke, and then release the pedal. Repeat this operation at

intervals of 2 or 3 seconds until new brake fluid is discharged.

Then close the bleeder valve with the brake pedal depressed.

Repeat the same work on each wheel.

3. Perform the air bleeding. Refer to 

MA-35, "BRAKE FLUID :

Bleeding Brake System"

.

BRAKE FLUID : Bleeding Brake System

INFOID:0000000009269078

CAUTION:

• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect battery negative terminal before performing the work.

• Monitor the fluid level in the reservoir tank while performing the air bleeding 

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

it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.

• Always use new brake fluid for refilling. Do not reuse the drained brake fluid.

• Do not allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to the bleeder valve of the rear right brake.
2. Fully depress the brake pedal 4 to 5 times.
3. Loosen the bleeder valve and bleed air with the brake pedal depressed, and then quickly tighten the

bleeder valve.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all of the air is out of the brake line.
5. Tighten the bleeder valve to the specified torque.

• Front disc brake: refer to 

BR-36, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View"

.

• Rear drum brake: refer to 

BR-41, "Exploded View"

6. Perform steps 1 to 5. Occasionally fill with the brake fluid in order to keep the reservoir tank at least half of

MAX line. Bleed air in the following order: rear right brake 

→ front left brake → rear left brake → and front

right brake in order.

7. Check that the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the specified range after air bleeding. Refer to 

BR-

11, "Inspection"

.

8. Check each item of brake pedal. Adjust it if the measurement value is not the standard. Refer to 

BR-8,

"Inspection and Adjustment"

.
