check your brake system.

It's also adjustable. I'll bet just a small turn will get you where you need to be.
Look in your manual for how to adjust, I think it's in there.
Been awhile, but I think you access it by that little friggin cover in the cup holders. Not sure if have to pop the console around the shifter up or not..............been too long.

I'm a couple of days late seeing this thread, but check the brake fluid level. The light is for both the parking brake and the fluid.

When fluid is just below the threshold, it's not unsual for the light to come on at first, then go out when the car warms up and the fluid expands a little.
