What causes the parking brake warning light to illuminate in the Volkswagen Tiguan?
1 Answers
The reasons for the parking brake warning light illuminating in the Volkswagen Tiguan include low brake fluid level and severely worn brake pads. The specific causes and solutions are as follows: Low brake fluid level: Most vehicles are equipped with a brake fluid level warning system, where the brake fluid warning light typically shares the same indicator as the parking brake. Therefore, if the red parking brake light remains illuminated after releasing the parking brake, it is necessary to check whether the brake fluid level is too low. Solution: Replace the brake fluid as indicated. Severely worn brake pads: As brake pads gradually wear thin during driving, the pistons inside the brake calipers will adjust the gap caused by the wear, which can trigger the brake warning light. Solution: Replace the brake pads.
