Pretty sure that's the engine coolant light, when that reserve fills up it will go off which usually happens after your car has been warm for a little bit. Mine goes on everynow and then but after running it goes off as well.

just make sure that your resevoir tank is filled up to the "FULL" line that it has marked on the side. and that when you open your radiator cap, you can see coolant in the radiator. you could possibly have a leak as well. causing you to lose your fluid.
i know right now i have a small leak somewhere. still working on finding it. but its just a miniscule amount every day or so.
