What to do
- 01Check that the parking brake handle or electronic button is fully released.
- 02Safely pull over to a flat surface if the light remains on after release.
- 03Consult your owner manual to verify the meaning for your specific model.
- 04Contact our shop or a professional technician to diagnose a potential brake system issue.
Other common causes
Low brake fluid levels, a faulty brake fluid sensor, or a malfunction in the electronic parking brake system.
How we check it
Our technicians will inspect your brake fluid levels and perform a diagnostic scan of the electronic parking brake system to identify the source of the warning.
Symbols vary by make and model — always confirm in your owner's manual. If the light is red, the car feels different, or the light is blinking, stop and call us before driving further.
