If the brake warning light comes on with the parking brake not applied when the hybrid system is in READY mode, perform the following: 1. Check the brake fluid level. Add brake fluid as necessary. See "Brake fluid" in the Maintenance and do-it-yourself" section of your NISSAN Owner's Manual. 2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked by a NISSAN dealer. If the hydraulic brake warning light comes on when the parking brake is not applied and the electronically controlled brake system warning light also comes on, stop the vehicle immediately and call a NISSAN dealer.
