Brake indicator comes on during hard acceleration

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

I think it uses any DOT3 but I put in some DOT4.

I agree that it is a symptom of the pads getting thin too. I will tackle that job soon before any scarring to the rotors.

I'm not sure how low the reservoir was or how much fluid you added, but keep an eye on the fluid level when putting in new pads. Just make sure that the extra fluid you put in doesn't overflow the reservoir when you push in the caliper pistons.

I had mine replaced 2 years ago, but before I spent $$$, I did add brake fluid into the reservoir and bought me 1.5 months before I decided to be raped by my dealer. Just go to Nissan dealership and buy a brake fluid.
