[s-cars] e-brake light on start-up

[Fred Munro]

Andrew;

It's warning you that the hydraulic pressure is low in the brake boost
system. The fluid is leaking out of the accumulator as the car sits and it
takes a while after start-up to re-pressurize the accumulator. This is a
common issue with the UrS cars. You can verify this by checking the level in
the hydraulic fluid reservoir right after you turn off the car and check it
aging after the car sits overnight. If the level increases, fluid is leaking
back out of the accumulator. Flushing the hydraulic fluid sometimes cures
this.

Hey all,

When I start the S6 the e-brake light stays on of
approximately 10/15 seconds.  This happens whether or
not I have the e-brake set upon starting the car.  Any
ideas?  Thanks.
