All warning lights

Low brake fluid

Stop driving

What it means

The brake fluid level is too low, often from worn pads or a leak.

What to do

Stop safely and do not continue; the pedal may sink or the brakes may fail. Have the car towed or checked on site before driving.

This is general guidance. Symbols differ between manufacturers, so check your owner's manual, and have a red warning light looked at before you drive on.
