Does the dashboard light up when stepping on the brake?

When the brake warning light on the dashboard illuminates while braking, it may indicate a brake pad alert. Normally, this indicator light remains off. It lights up when there's a brake disc malfunction or excessive wear. Here are some explanations about dashboard warning lights: Yellow light: Yellow indicates a warning light, but with a lower severity level. You can continue driving, but immediate inspection is required. Green light: Green represents an indicator light. In automatic transmissions, there's a brake lock to prevent accidental gear shifting. The gear gets locked when not pressing the brake, accompanied by a green dashboard light, which turns off when the brake is applied. Additional information: The working principle of brakes involves converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into heat energy for dissipation. The kinetic energy comes from the power provided by the engine, which requires fuel combustion to generate.
