How long are the brake pads supposed to last?

My warning light just came on at 10.8K. Also... How much brakepad is left? Do I NEED to get the pads replaced immediately, or can I wait a few days?

10.8? Either you drive like a madman, in nothing but stop and go traffic or the sensor has gone bad. Take it to the dealer as soon as you can but your pads should be good for a SHORT while. Normally when the sensor goes off there's only a few millimeter left on your pad. Let it go too long then you've got to replace the rotors too.
