You'll need to investigate further to determine the exact issue. This typically involves:
* Checking the owner's manual: Your owner's manual should have a section detailing the meaning of dashboard warning lights. Look for the symbol that matches the engine picture.
* Using an OBD-II scanner: An OBD-II scanner (available at most auto parts stores) can read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from your car's computer. These codes pinpoint the specific problem.
* Visiting a mechanic: If you're not comfortable diagnosing the issue yourself, a mechanic can use a scanner and their expertise to identify and fix the problem.
Ignoring the engine light is not recommended, as it could indicate a serious issue that could lead to further damage or even safety hazards.
