WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Nissan Leaf. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Before performing work, turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator control unit harness connector or disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
If brake fluid contacts the disc rotor or brake caliper assembly, wipe it off immediately.

Make sure that there is no foreign material in the reservoir tank, and refill with new brake fluid.
CAUTION:
- Never reuse drained brake fluid.
- Never allow any oils other than the designated brake fluid to enter the system.
Loosen the air bleeder, slowly depress the brake pedal to the full stroke, and then release the pedal. Repeat this operation at intervals of 2 or 3 seconds until all of the brake fluid is discharged. Then close the air bleeder with the brake pedal depressed. Repeat the same work on each wheel.
