If so then you could have air bubles in your radiator. or the connectors for the ad coolant sensor thing could be loose.

ebrake shouldn't have anything to do with your add coolant light. Check to see if you coolant level sensor is plugged in and the rad is bleed properly as he said above

i would check (because its the easiest to do) to make sure the harness connecting to the warning light/clock cluster is properly connected and everything looks to be in order back there

pop off the trim (be careful not to break it ) remove the 2 screws and bam there you go..

just inspect it and see if you find anything fishy

is your coolant low? my buzzer came on a few months ago so i checked and topped off my radiator, and then shortly after it came back on so i checked the sensor connections etc. came to find out the coolant was low again because it was leaking from a cracked heater hose. it was actually bothering me for a few days and since it was such a small crack i couldnt figure out what the heck was happening till it blew completely. a friend of mine with a gxl had a very similar problem too. go check the heater hose that runs from the oil filter side to the firewall and see if yours is busted up near the engine. both mine and my friends cracked in the same spot.

sure it is coolant... sometimes people don't notice and it is the low oil level light and buzzer (which is the same buzzer).
