Brake fluid warning. You are low on brake fluid, or the sensor has packed it in.
Also, it may mean that you have a parking brake switch that needs adjusting or a defective switch.

What year is your euro csi 72?? RHD or LHD?
You do mean rev's=tachometer which typically has the Parking Brake indicator a brn/blu wire to the switch. What color is the wire (not the brown one) on the back of the light (also not the black for the Tach or gray/blue for instrument lights)? Is there a letter in the red light such that when illuminated you see i.e.: P?

That's over by the speedo, not on the tach.
Very true - half asleep - sorry if i misled you Manj!
i fully agree with the previous responses, about a red light with the letter P in the middle that is located in the bottom position of the rpm instrument, it has two functions:
- parking brake on, released
- low fluid brake level (you must have a reservoir with electrical contacts for that)
remark: it will be VERY helpful when anyone posts a question, to include a photo or detail of the affected area or part, it is quite easy to post photos and it will be no misunderstanding:-D
