What does an exclamation mark inside a circle on the car mean?

An exclamation mark inside a circle on the car is the brake warning light, also known as the handbrake warning light. The reason this light illuminates on the dashboard is that the handbrake is not released or not fully released. If the car's handbrake is completely lowered but the light on the dashboard remains on, it may be caused by severely worn brake pads or low brake fluid. In such cases, immediate repair is necessary. If the brake fluid is insufficient or absent, the handbrake indicator light will also stay on. Another possible cause is a malfunction in the sensor inside the brake fluid reservoir, which is specifically designed to monitor the condition of the car's brake fluid. Once an issue is detected, it will promptly alert the driver through the warning light.
