When I press the brakes in my Peugeot 106 1993 an orange warning light comes on displaying a circle with 3 dashed lines either side what is this all about?

This orange warning light that comes on when you press your brakes in your 1993 Peugeot 106 is the brake pad warning light. This light turns on when you’ve got less than 1mm of brake pad material remaining. If you were to continue driving with no brakes left you would damage the brake discs.

It is important to take action as soon as you see this light – replacing your brake pads as soon as possible. Replacing your brake pads is a relatively simple task that can be done at home with a few basic tools. If you’re not confident in your ability to do this, it’s best to take your car to a mechanic to have the work done.

In the meantime, you should avoid driving your car unless absolutely necessary. If you do need to drive, be sure to keep your speed down and drive cautiously, avoiding any unnecessary braking.
