The handbrake warning lamp is located in the right -hand part of the main instrument unit. It comes on to inform the driver that the handbrake is applied.

The lamp is supplied with current in the main instrument unit. As long as the handbrake remains applied, the switch operated by the handbrake lever grounds the lamp via terminal 11 (K20), causing it to light up.

If the vehicle speed passes 5 km/h from a speed below 5 km/h while the handbrake is applied, the central warning lamp will also light up and the MIU will send a request to the SID unit for activation of an acoustic signal.
