IIRC the SDL has a separate warning for pad wear, like most of the lower-end cars. It is an amber light with the symbol of two concentric circles but check your manual to see. The earlier cars used the same light for both fluid and brake pad wear indication but I thought that since the W123 they all had two lights and if the brake warning (red light) comes on it is usually because of low fluid in the reservoir or a faulty parking brake light switch. Based upon your symptoms I would guess low fluid.
