Re: Brakes!!!!

That light is your brake fluid level float-(among other indicators) it is detecting the movement when you accelerate and the level drops slightly in the reservoir- so in short- you are low on brake fluid- you need to add some-- it may be from the fact your brake pads are worn and it takes extra fluid to compensate for the normal wear-- or you may be developing a small leak - so keep an eye on the dry ground every time you approach the car- to see if you have any drips- Have your fluid top-off and be aware of any continuing changes....
