The red brake warning light stays on after the parking brake is released.
MG ZS: Red brake warning light and brake fluid check
Symptoms
- The red brake warning light stays on after the parking brake is released. [1]
Possible causes
- The manual lists diagnostic branches such as brake fluid loss or a brake force distribution fault; this does not mean all cases involve low fluid. [1]
Checks
- Stop safely, switch off the engine and check the brake fluid; if the warning persists with a normal fluid level, refer it to a repair provider immediately. [1]
What to do
- Repair according to the confirmed diagnostic branch; topping up cannot clear every brake warning. [1]
Applicability and limits
- Only applies to the English manual from the official European website and to the corresponding ZS configuration among the combustion-engine configurations described; the manual date is not treated as an applicable model year. No actual vehicle model has been linked. Do not extend to models with the same name, other powertrains or other markets. Scope: unknown [1]
- Only applies to the specific configuration in the cited manual; do not assume applicability to all vehicles with the same model name
