Thread: Low Brake Fluid??

I would guess you need to change your brakes. As your brake pads wear, you brake calipers need to push out further to contact the rotors. So they use more fluid and level gets a little low. If you are driving hard, braking hard, or on hills, it can set off the low brake fluid light that you saw, and display the brake warning light. As long as there is fluid in there, you should be okay to drive, but make sure you check things over ASAP.
