I can confirm this. Both the ebrake "BRAKE" light (in red above the fuel gauge) and the "SLIP" light (in orange in the tachometer display) can come on individually or together to warn you of low brake fluid. The SLIP light will come on solid in this circumstance, while in normal conditions it will only flash when wheel slip is detected. I just topped off my brake fluid this weekend to get both of them to turn off - worked as expected.
When I first encountered this issue a couple years ago, the dealer changed my brake fluid without asking when I brought it in for diagnostics. It solved the problem, so I was only pissed when they tried to charge me for the work I didn't authorize.
