Subject:      So why have the tiny push button, etc....)

Hmmm As the original asker ... It is a camper AND it has a little doorjamb like button AND I just turn the handle to release the brake.

So why have the button? Can't be just to check the light? Or is it broken and I'm suppose to push it to release the brake?
