Chuck nailed it. Pretty much guaranteed to be the brake fluid. Fill it to the MAX line. I've had the light come on even with the brake fluid level halfway between MIN and MAX during brisk acceleration. Just top it off and you should be good to go. Also, note that the SLIP light adjacent to the VDC OFF light may come on independently or in conjunction with the e-BRAKE light and signals the same low brake fluid. What happens is hard acceleration can slosh the fluid and uncover the sensor making the car think the fluid level is low even though it might be above the MIN line when stopped on level ground.
