The brake light will illuminate if the parking brake lever lock is set
while the engine is running. It will also illuminate when the service
brake is in use. If the parking brake light does not come on when the

WARNING
If the parking brake lever lock is partially or entirely engaged while riding, the
brakes may overheat, resulting in brake damage. In extreme cases it could
cause a fire, which could result in serious injury or death. Always ensure that
the lever lock is completely disengaged before operating the snowmobile.
