It's telling you the coolant is low!!! The switch is in the main reservoir, check the coolant. If the light comes on while driving then stop, this is the first warning of problems you'll get. If the light then goes off when engine is at idle you have an airbubble in the system and need to have it bled. Looking at the reservoir/coolant level when parked and @ idle rev the engine up and see if the level drops, if so you have a bubble. Tim Smith
