There are wear sensors on at least the front brakes if not all four. I would assume all four but who knows. Anyway the sensore is either bad or you brake pads have worn down to the indicator point.

thats why I was pretty annoyed when the service advisor tried to sell me new brake pads with my car having 45,000kms, 75% of which is highway (seldom hard on the brakes in the city either)

haha...I was told I only had 20% left on the pads up front last time when I changed the tires. That was 2500 miles ago. I too will just wait for the warning to come on to change the pads.
