Electronic parking brake : The warning lamp should turn off when the handbrake is released.
Engine temperature : If it is red, do not continue driving. Find a safe place to stop, turn off the engine and contact Riverside SEAT/ closest retailer. If it is amber, consider stopping for a while to allow the engine temperature to cool.
