checked. It is recommended you have this
service performed by an INFINITI retai-
ler. (See “Brake fluid” (P.8-9).)
2. If the brake fluid level is correct, have the warning system checked. It is recom-
mended you have this service performed
by an INFINITI retailer.
Low hydraulic pressure warning indicator:
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. Have the
brake system checked. It is recommended
you have this service performed by an
INFINITI retailer.

indicator:
When the parking brake is released and the
brake fluid level is sufficient, if both the

may indicate the ABS is not functioning
properly. Have the brake system checked,
and if necessary repaired. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
(See “Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warn-
ing light” (P.2-12).)
WARNING
.
Your brake system may not be work-
ing properly if the warning light is on.
Driving could be dangerous. If you
judge it to be safe, drive carefully to
the nearest service station for re-
pairs. Otherwise, have your vehicle
towed because driving it could be
dangerous.

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.

minimum or MIN mark on the brake
fluid reservoir, do not drive until the
brake system has been checked. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.
