the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the system checked. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-
lock function is turned off. The brake
system then operates normally, but with-
out anti-lock assistance. (See “Brake sys-
tem” (P.5-137).)

remains on, it may indicate that the BSW
and I-BSI systems are not functioning
properly. Although the vehicle is still
driveable, have the systems checked. It
is recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. See “Blind Spot Warning
(BSW)” (P.5-33) and “Intelligent Blind Spot
Intervention (I-BSI)” (P.5-43).
orBrake warning light
This light functions for both the parking
brake and the foot brake systems.

not applied, stop the vehicle and perform
the following:
1. Check the brake fluid level. If brake
fluid is low, add fluid and have the
system checked. It is recommended
you have this service performed by a
NISSAN dealer. (See “Brake fluid” (P.8-
9).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is
recommended you have this service
performed by a NISSAN dealer.
Low hydraulic pressure warning indica-
tor:
If the brake warning light illuminates
when the engine is running, or while
driving with the parking brake is released, check the brake fluid level. If the brake
fluid level is sufficient, it may indicate low
hydraulic pressure in the brake booster. It
is recommended that you have the brake
system checked by a NISSAN dealer
promptly.
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 illu-
minate, it may indicate the ABS is not
functioning properly. Have the brake
system checked, and if necessary re-
paired. It is recommended you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS) warning light”
(P.2-11).)
WARNING
. Your brake system may not be
working properly if the warning
light is on. Driving could be dan-
gerous. If you judge it to be safe,
drive carefully to the nearest
service station for repairs. Other-
wise, have your vehicle towed
because driving it could be dan-
gerous.

.Pressing the brake pedal with the
engine stopped and/or low brake
fluid level may increase your
stopping distance and braking
will require greater pedal effort
as well as pedal travel.
. If the brake fluid level is below the
