Nissan Rogue (T33) 2021-Present Owner’s Manual & User Guide: Brake system
Braking precautions
Basic information
The brake system uses two independent hydraulic circuits. If one circuit fails, braking at two wheels will still be available.
Vacuum assisted brakes
The brake booster enhances braking force using engine vacuum. If the engine stops, you can still brake by pressing the pedal, but braking effort will increase and stopping distance will be longer.
Using the brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving. Doing so overheats the brakes, causes premature wear and reduces fuel economy.
To help prevent brake overheating and reduce wear, slow down and shift to a lower gear before descending long or steep grades.
Overheated brakes reduce braking performance and may cause a loss of control.
WARNING
- On slippery surfaces, brake, accelerate,
and downshift smoothly.
Abrupt braking or accelerating may cause wheel slip and result in an accident.
- If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, brake power assist will stop. Braking effort will increase.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven through water, the brakes may become wet.
Wet brakes increase stopping distance and may cause the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, drive at a safe speed while lightly pressing the brake pedal to generate heat until braking returns to normal. Avoid high speeds until full braking efficiency is restored.
Parking brake break-in
Break in the parking brake pads whenever braking performance weakens, or when the parking brake pads, calipers or rotors are replaced, to ensure proper operation.
This procedure is documented in the service manual. It is recommended to have the Nissan Rogue serviced by a NISSAN dealer.
Electric power steering
WARNING
If the engine is off while driving, power
steering assist will stop working, and
steering will require significantly more
effort.

Brake assist
Brake assist
When brake pedal force exceeds a certain
threshold, Brake Assist activates to provide
greater braking force than a conventional
brake booster, even with relatively light pedal
pressure.
