BRAKE warning light (red)
When the power switch is placed in the ON position or in the READY to drive position, the light remains illuminated for a few seconds. If the light illuminates at any other time, it may indicate that the hydraulic brake system is not functioning properly. If the BRAKE warning light illuminates, stop the vehicle immediately and contact a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer.
Low brake fluid warning light
When the power switch is in the ON position, the light warns of a low brake fluid level. If this warning light illuminates, the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) warning light and the brake system warning light (yellow) also illuminate. If the light illuminates while the power switch is in the READY to drive position with the parking brake not applied, stop the vehicle and perform the following items.
Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid level is low, add fluid and have the system checked by a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer. See
.If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer.
Your brake system may not be working properly if the warning light is on. Driving could be dangerous. If you judge the brake system to be safe, drive carefully to the nearest service station for repairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle towed because driving it could be dangerous.
Pressing the brake pedal with the power switch position other than in the ON or READY to drive position and/or low brake fluid level may increase the stopping distance and braking will require greater pedal effort as well as pedal travel.
If the brake fluid level is below the minimum or MIN mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive until the brake system has been checked at a knowledgeable LEAF repairer such as a NISSAN certified electric vehicle dealer.
