What does this warning mean? Flashing exclamation mark, three beeps

[tangcla]

So I notice occasionally when I start my car, and when I go around corners in a spirited manner, that I get three long beeps, and the red exclamation mark on the dash cluster lights up (the handbrake one). No error codes on the scanner; what does it mean, and how do I make it go away?

Top off your brake fluid is my guess

Oh right - thought it was something more complicated than that, haha. Thanks :)

Is it the same warning that comes on when you drive with the handbrake pulled a little ?

If so , it could be the micro-switch for your handbrake light that needs to be adjusted/replaced, since it only happens when you're doing some ''spirited driving'' ?

Check the owners manual.

^^^^ and be ready for a brake job soon. the fluid in the reservoir drops a little as the pads wear out, if it's low enough to give you that warning then the pads are probably pretty thin

Thanks guys, it was just the brake fluid being low. It was above the minimum but it only triggered on certain inclines and turns.

Pads were changed to new ones not too long ago, but will keep an eye on them.
