Apply Parking Brake Dashboard Indicator

Apply Park Brake

This is an Apply Parking Brake Indicator symbol. It is somewhat misleading in that it actually warns of a transmission malfunction! Vehicles with electronic shift controls may not hold the Park selection properly, prompting the warning to engage the parking brake.

  • Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
  • Otherwise, you can return to our Text Symbols pages and scan again!

Do not ignore this light! If the Park function in the transmission is not properly engaged the vehicle can roll away possibly creating a risk to property and people! Use the parking brake and have the vehicle serviced at a qualified service shop as soon as possible.

Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the  use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

Technology is always changing and what is current and accurate today may be literally out-of-date and inaccurate tomorrow. And when it comes to the current state of flux in the auto industry, nothing is more true.
