assuming you mean the check engine light, or the picture of the engine.

Recommend you take it in to a dealer or other good garage.


What does the engine shaped light mean?

That is commonly known as the "Check Engine" light. The light is on because the vehicle's on board diagnostics as detected a problem. Have a trusted mechanic take a look at it soon. If the "Check Engine" light ever flashes while you're driving, stop the car when it is safe to do so and shut off the engine immediately. If you continue to drive the car with that light flashing you risk doing serious expensive damage.
