Blinking emergency brake light?

[afabbri]

My emergency brake light on my console just started blinking and beeping. It does this three times in a row and then stops. Every once and a while it will do it again. I have no idea what this means! Any help would be great thanks!

I think it can mean that the handbrake handle has not been fully pushed down (returned) which can be caused by money/hairpins/junk slipping down the handbrake slot and preventing it from returning. (handbrake=emerg brake). There is a sensor/switch at the bottom of the handle.
Another possibility is if you live in a cold part of the world where you drive thru snow (we get it in our frig) then the handbrake cable can rust internally and/or water can get inside the cable and freeze it in position.
Good Luck.

Check your brake fluid. The owners manual states that that particular alarm is for that specific issue.
