Check the brake fluid and coolant levels anyway - just in case it is one of those.... red lights are always bad.

This is the brake pad wear indicator.
It's supposed to mean that your front or rear (if fitted) brake pads are reaching the end of their life, but can also mean the sensor wires are rubbing through on the inside of a wheel rim, a poor connection in one of the wear sensor connectors, or it can be the infamous 220 ohm resistor in the instrument cluster.
Do a forum search for this latter one unless there's a recently added article on it in tech articles. If there isn't, it's coming soon!
