...Now that I have one, I can't imagine having anything else!

I am excited to see such a community of people that is so active! As a 'long' time redditor, my love for active forums seems well placed here.

Anyway, I have a question for the mini geniuses here. A red warning light has shown up in my service diagnostics area, and I can't find it in the owners manual. Here is a professional sketch of what it looks like,



Can the hive mind help me?

NOTE: picture is sideways. didn't notice till it was too late. it should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

It is a 2008 HT base model.

 

Your MINI wants you to change/flush your brake fluid.

 

ah! Gotchya!

If you don't mind me asking, other than just being smart, how did you know this?

This is very helpful.

 

I've had the symbol show up twice in my 4+ years of ownership, so experience has taught me.

The symbol is listed in my manual pg 50. Controls/Service Requirements/Possible Displays.

 

I guess I will learn this in time. To be fair, the picture in the book doesn't look EXACTLY like the symbol on the car. It does make sense now though.

I guess I will be making a trip to the shop to get this done now...

Thank you for your help!

 

The symbol should be listed on page 54 of your manual under "possible displays" of "Service Requirements". Its in my online version of the 08 manual. Though the symbol in the manual isn't exactly like the one in the manual, but its not like any of the other symbols.
