Berlingo Electrique on hills

Hi,
Recently got an old berlingo electrique which is still doing 40+ miles per charge. Seems great. Only query - I noticed on long hills when you lift the accelerator and the recouperative breaking starts if if is going for a while the centre light on the dash (I think handbrake light - the one you see when starting) flickers on a little. If you accelerate a little the goes away. Is this just a querk or could it indicate I need to check something?

Also If an electrical fault shows up can can this be reset without an Evlite to check if it is a false alarm? - maybe this is not a wise course of action.

It sounds like its the brake fluid level light, check the brake fluid level is OK, mine would do this from time to time and it was just low fluid level in the braking system.

DEfinitely low brake fluid. Mine does the same. its above the low level on the bottle but just enough to trigger the light when doing something quickly. Just put some fluid in. and check your breaking system. Especially the rear brakes which dont get used a lot.
