What does the red brake light mean?
Years

Answer

The brake warning light, a circle with brackets on the sides and an exclamation point in the middle, indicates various problems related to the operating status of the braking system. One of the most frequent problems that leads to the warning light coming on is the brake fluid level that is too low; or wear of the pad or disc; a defect in the ABS system that induces the alarm. The safest solution is to contact a specialized technician to find the fault.
