    Check you owner’s manual. Nothing jumps out at me. Is there anything inside the circle? Either an ! or a triangle?

    That’s the brake pad warning light. It is telling you that the the pads are worn down to almost the min thickness. You can drive about another 50~100 miles or so. But definitely get them changed.

    Brake pad wear sensors are located on the front left side and rear right side from driver’s pov.

    that’s the brake pad sensor… probably you got a litlle pad remaining go to your dealer or to your mechanic and ask them to check it out..

    I own a BMW and according to my manual, it’s for the break pads. You need to have them checked and probably replaced soon.

    It’s a break pad warning light. Just happened about a year ago to me. There are sensors on your breakpads. This light indicates that it’s time to go get new break pads!!
