Warning Lamp Functionality: Handbrake

The handbrake warning lamp is controlled by the LCM and the instrument pack software. The lamp is illuminated in a red color briefly with the ignition in position II. If the handbrake is applied, the lamp remains illuminated, until the hand brake is released.

If the vehicle is driven with the handbrake applied, the LCM monitors the vehicle speed. When the speed reaches 3 mph (5 km/h), the LCM displays 'RELEASE HANDBRAKE' in the message center, accompanied by an intermittent chime from the sounder for 20 seconds.
