Warning light guide

Brake system warning

The parking brake may be applied, brake fluid may be low, or the hydraulic brake system may have a fault.

Stop safely

What it can mean

Brake warnings require the exact owner's-manual interpretation. A soft pedal, fluid leak, pulling, grinding or reduced braking is urgent.

What to do next

  1. Verify the parking brake is fully released.
  2. If braking feels abnormal, stop safely and do not continue driving.
  3. Arrange a qualified brake inspection.

Possible causes to test

  • Parking brake applied
  • Low brake fluid
  • Hydraulic system fault
  • Electronic brake system fault
