Why is the handbrake light always on?
1 Answers
The reasons why the handbrake light is always on: 1. The handbrake is not fully released; 2. Lack of brake fluid, the brake fluid level is below the safety line; 3. False alarm. For such occasional prompts, simply release the handbrake fully or add an appropriate amount of brake fluid. If the handbrake light is on and accompanied by uneven braking, it is caused by inconsistent wear of the brake pads or uneven force from the brake caliper. In this case, immediate repair is necessary to avoid endangering driving safety. The handbrake, also known as the parking brake, provides resistance to the car when parked to prevent it from rolling, whether it's the handbrake or the parking gear in an automatic transmission, locking the drive shaft or rear wheels.
