Identifying a warning light

Can anybody identify the warning light directly below the Airbag light on my 2006 2.0CRDi XE Sportage (UK Model) ? (image attached)

There is no mention of this in the manual at all. It occasionally lights up when I brake, but never stays on and doesn't always come on either.

Thanks,
Phil.

Thanks for your reply. I've just replaced pads and discs (rotors). My car doesn't have (as far as I know) an electronic warning of low pads, rather it has a metal bracket which hits the disc (rotor) and makes an audible noise.

Thanks,
Phil.

azimpact - I managed to get a scanner attached and it said that no codes were found :)

Jawadders99! - Thanks, I initially wondered if it was ABS related, but the ABS warning lights are on the other side of the dash.

Conwelpic - Thanks, I called in over the weekend and showed them the photo that I attached to this post. Apparently it is the vacuum pump warning light. They told me that it is only a concern if it stays on all the time, which in my case it doesn't. They said you only usually see it if you pump the brake pedal - well, to be fair, that is exactly what I had been doing, as I had just change the brake pads and discs (rotors).

As the light isn't on at all now (apart from when I first start the car) there is nothing to worry about after all.

Thanks again everyone for your input :)
