It could be because you are low on "brake" fluid or maybe pads getting low to the wear sensor.

Apparently you have a one-of-a-kind dashboard (must have been made in the US) as the German ones...

read "BRAKE" when there's a problem with the system used for stopping the car. Sorry, but sometimes the dumbing-down of America is tough for me to handle. 10 point bonus for realizing that the following words have different meanings: two, to, too. ;-P
