Why does the handbrake warning light stay on all the time?

If the handbrake warning light stays on all the time, it is very likely that the parking brake has been released incorrectly. The solution is to first check the correct positioning of the brake control lever in the rest position and then the correct release of the calipers. Otherwise it is necessary to contact a mechanic.
