Discovered this today purely by accident. Since I have the 6-speed, I always use the hand brake when parking.

This time, when I got in and started off I forgot to release the brake. :shock:

Luckily I was in a parking lot, going very slow and not very far. I heard a steady "beeping" sound and thought my TPMS was telling me I had another flat again

But it wasn't, when I looked around I saw the red "BRAKE" light on the dash and immediately released it. When I tried to pull it up to verify (while moving slow), it began beeping again.

Looks like there is both a visual and an audible warning for leaving the emergency brake on

I suspect it might also go off if the brake system suffered a malfunction like the master cylinder going out or similar. Small consolation if it did, as no alert is going to help you then.

Sorry, it's not an Easter Egg if it's mentioned in the manual (p.60).

lol yeah I found that out on accident before I had finished reading the manual. It's kind of annoying when your messing around in a snow covered parking lot

On the cassette player, you can "fast-forward" and "reverse" with the up and down "channel" buttons on the steering wheel.
