Dual Function of the Handbrake Warning Light

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Warning light – error code

Video tutorial

In this video, we see that the red warning light (indicating danger) with a double circle and an exclamation mark in the centre, known as the handbrake warning light, sometimes appears on our dashboard when we have mistakenly started driving with the handbrake still engaged - it has a dual meaning.

In fact, if it lights up while we are driving, it means that the brake fluid pressure has dropped, likely due to a leak, making it very dangerous to continue driving as brake functionality may be compromised.

The only thing to do is stop the vehicle and call for a tow truck.
