Aren't all cars like this?  I've never seen one that had a seperate
parking brake warning light.  The only car I've driven where the two
weren't combined was my '75 Westy, which had no parking brake warning
light at all.  (The parking brake warning system was, if you drove off
with it set, your knuckles would hit the handle when you went for third
gear.)
