Amber Brake Warning

siteguru said:

Can you be a bit more descriptive? Are you meaning the ( P ) in the driver display is yellow (amber)? If yes then that usually signifies an auto-hold fault - which usually goes away by itself - and doesn't otherwise cause any other issues.

Yes. That is exactly what I was meaning.
So have you had this self same thing?
When coming to a stop, I would usually depress the brake pedal to bring on the green P, which would activate the handbrake.
But on this occasion, I had to manually operate the electronic handbrake.
Is that what you had. And if so, was it a one off or did it happen again?

• If the head unit does not start up properly
• If the brakes are binding due to lack of lubrication (some early cars not greased at all which causes problems).

Yes this is exactly the auto-hold fault. I have had it happen once, was cleared on the next drive.

Can happen:

• If the head unit does not start up properly
• If the brakes are binding due to lack of lubrication (some early cars not greased at all which causes problems).

Infotainment screen - mine was blank once and this triggered both auto-hold and LKA errors, others have had the same thing happen. Simple hold down the home button until it rebooted fixed it.
