Two nights ago when I was dropping my brother off home, I parked up outside his place for 5-10 mins, and was sitting in the car with the ignition on (engine off).
Then get this beep sound and a flashing handbrake light on the dash. Caught me off guard and thought there was a problem with the handbrake.
Anyway started the car and the light went away so ignored it and drove home, the brakes seemed fine.
Went shopping last night and it happened again a few mins after parking up. This time I noticed a written notice on the mdf: "STOP! Brake Fluid, Owners Manual!" That got me worried.
Had a search when getting home (online, not checked the manual) and narrowed it down to the following:
- Front brake pads worn
- Low brake fluid, which can also indicate rear brake pads worn
Pretty sure the front outer pads are fine (so assumed the front inner are fine as well) as noticed them when getting tyres changed.
Not sure about the rear.
What do you guys reckon?
