Brake system warning
Driver guidance · STOP — symbol color, meaning and urgency can differ by vehicle
What the symbol may mean
May reflect parking brake engagement, low brake fluid or a hydraulic/electrical braking fault.
What to do now
Verify parking brake is released. If the warning remains on, pedal feels unusual or braking performance is affected, stop safely and request assistance.
What a technician may check
A trained technician must check brake hydraulics and system fault codes.
Always follow the exact vehicle handbook; colored lamps and warning behavior vary across models. A serious vehicle fault should not be cleared or driven through without inspection.
