Default Owner's manual

As my car did not have the owner's manual, I bought one on ebay for what I thought was a good deal. However, it is in French.

I just got my PSS9's installed and now my brake warning light is one. Not the parking brake, but the brake. Can anyone tell me what it is trying to tell me? Could it be the pad sensor and possibly my install guy not connecting it back correctly? Also, could someone tell me what the warning light with the two arrows pointing towards in other in a circle means? On my French manual, both warning lights are on page 68.

TIA.

Definitely check the sensor wires at each caliper. With the suspension replacement, it is very likely that one of the wires didn't get replaced properly, or perhaps even got damaged inadvertantly.
