Red Brake Warning Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The red BRAKE warning indicator notifies the driver of hydraulic brake concerns, some ABS concerns and parking brake application. When a hydraulic brake or ABS concern is present, the warning indicator illuminates solidly. After the parking brakes are fully applied, the red BRAKE warning indicator illuminates and remains illuminated as long as the ignition is set to ON. If the ignition is set to OFF after the parking brakes are applied or if the parking brakes are applied after the ignition is set to OFF the red BRAKE warning indicator illuminates for 10 seconds and is then extinguished.
