HELP !!!!

[Twizz]

Wassup guysI know it's been a while. I have a question though. I just went out to start my car just to give it a lil juice since I haven't touched it in a few days. I noticed that once I turned it on, the VDC and BRAKE lights were on and stayed on. I thought it would be something that would go away when I restarted the car or after it was warmed up. I waited 10 minutes, and it was still there. Now I am by no means a "car guy", so I don't know what this could be. I have warranty so I will take it in if it persists, but Can someone just help me sleep easier ? Thanks

top off your brake fluid before you go to the dealership to see if it helps. If the fluid is just a little bit low it will trigger the VDC and brake lights on the dash. Its seems really touchy like I said and being just a little low will cause those lights to appear. I would top it off and if the car sounds like it is running just fine i would take it for a spin and let it run for a bit and it should go off if that was the cause. I had this about a year and half ago after letting my car sit for about 2 weeks without running. This solved my problem and Ive never had it happen again. Other things can cause those lights but thats and easy attempt to fix that the dealership will charge you hundreds for. Good luck and report back if this helps or when you find a solution so others can learn from it. Thanks!

Should I get the nissan bran, or does it even matter ?

Whatever the manual says... I think it was DOT-4, but you might want to verify.
Doesn't have to be Nissan fluid. It'll probably only take a cap full to make the lights go away.

**** UPDATE ****
I went to PepBoys and got the fluids (power steering and brake), and put them in. Started my car, and they Christmas tree that was my dash, was all gone. I really appreciate the input from you guys.

I would also like to add that if your brake fluid is low, your brakes are probably worn. You should check brake pads too. You can save yourself $300 and DIY pads too

Nah the pads are cool. I changed them already. It's just that they didn't want to top off the fluids the last time I got an oil change, because they said the recommended a flush. They told me 200 each n I told em PEACE !!! lol
