Handbrake Light

Hi guys,

For some reason, my handbrake light stays on, even if I release the handbreak. I tried to set it on and off, and it still doesn't go off. (Yes, I tried it "hard" ) In the first week, it went away like after 30min of driving, but now it always stays on. Does anybody has an idea of whats going on here?

Your brake fluid is likely low in the reservoir. That typically indicates worn brake pads. Check all the pads, replace if necessary and then top off the brake fluid.
