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.
