    red32 You talkin' to me?

    Brake-warning light.

    Looks like an exclamation mark inside a circle between two parentheses, yeah?

    Linked to both the main brakes and the parking brake, so not clear what it's warning you about. Start looking at fluid levels and pad thicknesses, etc.

    Hope it's not too serious

    From memory this was a warning

    that brake fluid is low i would check that first, also if you are losing brake fluid check the brake master cylinder for leaks i had this problem a little while ago.

    Also this light comes on when the handbrake is up check the handbrake sensor could be a faulty connection.

    Good Luck.

    Agreed

    low brake fluid can often cause this problem.

    Yep, I too had this problem

    I noticed the light would only come on while turning around corners hard. I had trouble working out which light it was because I needed to focus on turning so it took a while before I determined it was the brake warning light.

    Checked the pads before topping up the brake fluid, all fixed now. :thumbsup:
