Default (E) Brake light on dash came on and it beeped, WHY?

Was pulling out from a dead stop and my emergency brake light on the dash came on for a few seconds and the car beeped. It did this twice to me, any one have a clue what the heck this it and what it is trying to tell me?
Thanks,
Kevin

It means your brake fluid is low. Fill it up, and find out why it's leaking. I had this happen a few times on my '98 A4 before I took it into the dealer. It turned out to be a leaking clutch slave cylinder.

Default Low fluid -- top off and check for leaks

This was happening to me recently following a brake bleed where I didn't top off enough. Fluid added, problem gone.
