Will the Car Be the Same After Repairing a Rear-End Collision?

A circle with a 'P' on the car dashboard indicates that the parking brake (handbrake) is not released. Here are the reasons why the parking brake indicator light may be on: 1. Handbrake not released: The handbrake may not be fully released or not released at all. It's advisable to have a professional mechanic inspect and repair it based on the actual situation. 2. Brake system malfunction: If the parking brake indicator light is on when the brake is released, it may indicate that the brake/clutch fluid level is too low or there might be a fault in the brake system. 3. Normal operation: The light is designed to indicate whether the parking brake is engaged. When the parking brake lever is pulled up, the brake is engaged, and the indicator light turns red; when the lever is released, the light turns off.
