WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Make sure no foreign material is in the reservoir sub-tank, and refill with new brake fluid.

CAUTION:
Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
Refill the brake system as follows:
- Depress the brake pedal.
- Loosen bleeder valve.
- Slowly depress brake pedal to 2/3 of the brake pedal full stroke.
- Tighten bleeder valve.
- Release brake pedal.
Repeat this operation at intervals of two or three seconds until all old brake fluid is discharged. Add new brake fluid to master cylinder reservoir sub tank frequently.

CAUTION:
Do not allow master cylinder reservoir to empty as this may cause damage to master cylinder internal components.
