AM I in danger?

[9one1]

Can someone tell me what the red circle with exclamation mark with lines on the out side means

[Podie]

It means read the handbook...

Assuming you mean this...



It usually means you need to check the brake fluid, so I wouldn't drive the car till you've done that...

[_deano]

handbrake is on.

[vee]

Generally Red lights mean a problem. Get it checked asap and don't use the car in the meantime.

Is the car beeping ? If so you'redriving without the handbrake being properly disengaged.
If not,likely to be fluid.

Have you checked the brake fluid then?

[9one1]

have checked the brake fluid and it is fine

[Derin100]

Brake fluid low, loss of hydraulic pressure or if you've checked both of those could just be the sensor that is faulty? Check the cap sensor and connections on the top of the brake fluid reservoir?

[9one1]

Derin100 thanks it was the dam sensor all fixed now
