It means your car is due for service. Your brakes are toast/worn out.
Don't you have an owners manual? The book explains all these symbols. I know some are not really apparent what they mean. |

Thanks Dackelone . I do have a manual however the service symbol is displayed in red in my car(2nd picture); the manual explains that such an indicator means that there is an electrical fault or ignition malfunction - this has confused me..

Yellow icons are WARNINGS
RED icons are NOTICE! You must take action. For instance... a yellow oil symbol means your low on engine oil - its a warning. A RED oil symbol means NO OIL PRESSURE. Do not drive/run the engine. |

Yeh, take it in STRAIGHT AWAY. That symbol means there's a malfunction with your braking system.
