the symbol is for low coolant, you should add some coolant as soon as possible, you can cause engine damage if you overheat the engine, you should also check the engine and cooling system for leaks (the level is low for a reason) one common leak is from the intake manifold gaskets so be sure to check there

It most likely means something is wrong with your electrical system. Your alternator may not be charging properly or your battery is not being charged correctly.
Take the terminals off the battery and clean them. First. Reconnect and see if the light goes off. If not you can take it to autozone and they can tell you if it's a charging problem or a battery problem.

those guys are idiots, the symbol is low coolant, the picture is the coolant resivoir, the wavy lines are water, and the arrow pointing down tells you its low. check the resevoir add if needed and get it checked soon.
