    I don't know what car you have! - but the pads on the 406, the wear sensor
    is set at about 2mm - that would be about a month or two's wear before they
    start to get dangerous I think...

    Beware, on a 306 at least low brake fluid also shows as the same light.
    Check the level, easier to fix away from home & its worth knowing what
    you are dealing with.

    Regards
