All warning lights

Brake pads worn

Drive carefully

What it means

The brake pads have worn down to their minimum thickness.

What to do

Have the pads replaced soon; braking distances get longer and the discs can be damaged. Avoid hard braking until then.

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.
