I've got that on mine, it's the brake pad wear warning light!

Check the brake pads to see how much life is left, also give the brake fluid a check to make sure it's okay.

As already stated, warning for front brake pads, so check them!
Nothing to do with handbrake or fluid.

Get your pads changed ASAP. They go off when the pads are LOW and I mean low, I found out the hard way  :embarassed:
