Handbrake/low brake fluid warning

Side lights are clocks illumination so you shouldn't need that one.

You have me worried now......What warning light is required for the handbrake?.

If you look in your tintop it's the one that operates with the handbrake and looks like this: (!).
It shows that your brake fluid is low and you can either use the handbrake switch of a push button to show it lights up.

You don't, tin-top manufactures use a switch on the handbrake as the brake fluid lamp test switch - so it does double duty as an idiot detector while being less useful for it's real job (as people don't see it as important).
