    Hello, I have a problem like this, to be honest, there is a lot of this on the forum, but I don't see an answer to my problem. Well, today, while driving, a red light with an exclamation mark started blinking and together with the light a signal started beeping, which could have happened in this case because it happened to me for the first time and not long ago I bought a car and I'm a little afraid... that it happened to me once, it blinked three times and then it beeped and stopped and so far it's normal... It's definitely a warning sign... but what kind?

    Perhaps the lack of brake fluid or the handbrake on (or rather damage to its sensor).,

    It's rather out of hand because manual I have a different control and there is a letter P on it and the liquid may be ... I have to check ... and is there a max min mark?

    the fluid is correct, it is in a good standard and now there is a problem what could have happened that gave such a warning ...

    Check the thickness of the brake pads, or the wires to the pad sensors.

    Indicator light responsible for the handbrake or brake fluid level
    It will illuminate when the handbrake is applied. If it stays on after releasing it or comes on while driving, the brake fluid level is too low. In such a situation, it is best if you ask someone to add brake fluid or go to the nearest service station. Specialists do not recommend driving with the light on.

    I'm sorry, gentlemen, I wrote that the fluid is normal, but I don't know how I looked before ... I went to see it again and it turned out that it was at a minimum, I moved the whole car and the light was on, the problem was solved, little liquid ... Thank you for the answers, gentlemen, I already had a bit of a sweat :) :) :) Regards...

    So what..? Podelawaliście liquid to the reservoir and "repair" completed..?!
    Why did the gas disappear? Now you should just have "floors".
