This indicates a low level of coolant in the coolant bottle/resevoir..... this symbol represents the radiator or coolant system liquid level.

Warning comes on to warn of coolant level too low.

When the engine is cold...remove the cap and check level. Add 50/50 antifreeze/water to level indicated on the side of the coolant bottle or tank.

Reservoir Bottles/tanks are usually transparent and you can see the coolant level through the plastic.

When coolant topped off to correct level, lamp will go out automaticly...no need for scanner or shop to turn it off. It will come on as a 'self check' when you turn on the ignition and if level is okay will go out when engine starts.

    If you are unsure of the type of antifreeze in your system go to NAPA so they can supply you with correct type of antifreeze. You will need to mix it with 505 plain water.

    If it is not something you want to do ,drop by your local auto repair shop and ask them to take care of it for you.

SOURCE: I have a warning light that comes on and I dont

That is a warning light that comes on when you get low on antifreeze. You will see your reservior on the left where you add coolant. You can just buy some 50/50 mix from the store, and add it. You may want to do some investigation to see where you may have lost some coolant. Make sure you add some though. Hope that helps.

Typically wavey lines represent traction control. In some cars this light turns on when you disable traction control, in others it is reserved for issues with the system itself.

I had a red square with an arrow pointing down and lines that looked like waves on my 2000 alero. what is this?

When your car is cold, check your radiator or radiator overflow to see if you are low on fluid. I believe that is what that light means.

For a good measure I would check all of your fluids.

My saturn had a light come up on dash that looked like a square with waves and an arrow pointing down.

look in your manual, it is in the glove box. the coolant in your reservoir is low, meaning the cooling system may be in jeopardy.
