whenever the ignition or electrical control switch is in the "engine on" position and the fault remains uncorrected.
5.2.9.                              The 'Visible Indicator' may take the form of an indicator lamp or of a mechanical signalling device.
5.2.10.                          Where an indicator lamp is used the lamp must be labelled with at least the word "BRAKE" or, the symbol for "BRAKE FAILURE" specified as No. 4.31 in International Standard ISO 2575-1982(E) - "Road Vehicles - Symbols for controls indicators and tell-tales" placed either directly on the lens or adjacent to it in such a way that the label is illuminated by the same light source as the lens.
5.2.10.1.                    The letters of the label must be not less than 3 mm high and must be of a contrasting colour to their background when illuminated.
5.2.10.2.                    If the label is directly on the lens the colour of either label or lens must be red and if the label is not on the lens the colour of the lens must be red.
5.2.10.3.                    An illuminated lamp may be either steady-burning or flashing.
5.2.11.                          Where a mechanical signalling device is used, it must display at least the word "BRAKE" in letters not less than 10 mm high when the signal is deployed.  Letters and background must be of contrasting colours, one of which is red.
5.2.12.                          The 'Service Brake System' failure 'Visible Indicator' and its specified label or display must be totally located forward of a transverse vertical plane through the point representing the intersection of the steering wheel axis of rotation and the plane of the steering wheel, and totally within the space bounded by:
5.2.12.1.                    the right-hand internal side wall;
5.2.12.2.                    a vertical plane along the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle;
5.2.12.3.                    a horizontal plane through a point on the lower edge of the instrument panel; and
5.2.12.4.                    a horizontal plane 150 mm above the highest point on the windscreen glass.
5.3.                                    'Parking Brake System 35/..'
5.3.1.                              The vehicle must be equipped with a 'Parking Brake System 35/..' such that in the applied position retention is effected by mechanical means, and the braking effect is achieved by either:
5.3.1.1.                        the frictional force developed between two friction surfaces; or
5.3.1.2.                        the frictional force developed between two friction surfaces, together with a 'Parking Mechanism 35/...'.
5.3.2.                              The parking brake 'Control' must be separate from the service brake 'Control' and incorporate a device to retain it in the "brake on" position, and it must be designed to minimise the possibility of inadvertent release of the brake.  This requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if at least 2 separate and distinct movements are necessary to disengage the parking brake.
5.3.3.                              The 'Parking Brake System 35/..' must
