I think the brake symbol will be a red triangle, with a white graphic.
White triangles was warnings, as opposed to danger.  I think the round
circle in the middle may be a light bulb, meaning a burned out light bulb.
The warning for burned out bulb also has a faint black X through the
circle.

All of these are described in the owner's manual.
