Direct Quote from the Sebring Convertible Service Manual. "RED BRAKE 
WARNING LAMP-The red Brake warning lamp is used to indicate a low fluid 
condition, parking brake applied, or possible ABS fault that didn't turn 
on the Yellow ABS light".  When you go around a corner the fluid sloshes 
a little and the switch makes contact.  Just top up the fluid level and 
it should go away.  In the Diagnosis and Testing chart, checking fluid 
level follows checking that the parking brake is fully released.
