Should consult manual but usually this symbol means either tire pressure or could be brake pad wear if it has a circle with another circle around it such as -- (O)
Sometimes this could also mean your ebrake is engaged. Even if it is not engaged the sensor could be bad.
A ROUND YELLOW CIRCLE LIGHT WITH LINES ON EACH SIDE MEANS BRAKE PROBLEMS FRONT BRAKES OR REAR BRAKES HAS A FAULT. NOW IF CIRCLE HAS LINES INSIDE YOUR POWER STEERING FLUID LOW NEED CHECKING.THE WARNING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF WHEN PROBLEM FIX.
If it's an orange circle with broken parentheses on each side it would be your brake pad wear warning light. You should have your brake pads inspected.
It is a disc brake pad indicator. It means its time to get your brakes inspected and the pads likely replaced. Normally, your front pads will wear quicker than the rear pads.
Get it checked on at your earliest opportunity. Brake jobs are cheap until you wait too long and start wearing into your brake rotors.
sounds like your brake lining light. It means your brakes have worn below specification. The light to me kinda looks like a yellow circle with two dashes on one side and two on the other and they follow the curvature of the circle. On an x3 you can get a pretty good view of the brake pads looking through the wheel.
