  • Your brake system may not be working properly if the warning light is on. Driving could be dangerous. Even 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 when the e-POWER system is not running and/or when the brake fluid level is low 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 NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

When the power switch is placed in the ON position or in the READY to drive position, the brake warning light remains illuminated for about a few seconds. If the brake warning 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 NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

A buzzer sounds if a malfunction occurs in the brake system power supply.

Low brake fluid warning light

When the power switch is placed in the ON or READY to drive position, the brake warning light illuminates, and then turns off. 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:

  1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake fluid level is low, add fluid and have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. See

    .
  2. If the brake fluid level is correct, and the Brake warning light is still illuminated it may indicate that the brake system is not functioning properly. Have the brake system and the warning system checked by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning indicator

When the parking brake is released and the brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illuminate, it may indicate the ABS is not functioning properly. Have the brake system checked, and if necessary repaired by a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop. (See
