Parking brake light will turn on when start driving, turn off when brake. ???
It only happens in cold start the first 5-10 mins of driving.
I did check the parking brake cable inside the console, it looks fine, not too loose or tight.
3 to 6 clicks of each time I heard from pressing the parking brake.
Car is running fine, 130km 98 ES300.
Any comments, please

Thanks BDSL, the brake fluid is low, and found the lower hose is leaking too.
