Its on the firewall on the drivers side. If the brake fluid in the master cylinder is low. Its an indication that you need to replace the pads. As pads get worn the caliper squeezes more tightly to place the pads on the rotor. When new pads are put on, the level will increase. The only other reason brake fluid would get low is if there is a leak.
