maybe your just low on anti freeze I would take i tto your mechanic to check it out because if there is an underlying problem it could cost you your engine
May I add:
If you're not losing fluid because of a faulty gasket or leak to the exterior, read the following:
Often an overlooked sensor (the Low Fluid Sensor in the Radiator Coolant Overflow Tank) is the culprit. If you are not continually losing coolant, it's safe to say that you don't have any form of leakage. Unlike the sensory switch located at the rear of the radiator, fixing an issue attributed to a clogged "Low Fluid Sensor" can be quick and painless.
You might not need to remove and clean this particular sensor --- simply repositioning and cleaning the sensor by GENTLY turning it back and forth a few times (while it remains in the reservoir tank) and making sure that the reservoir coolant level is correct will resolve the problem. If you find that the light stops coming on, you've isolated the issue. Now, drain the old antifreeze and replace the antifreeze with new antifreeze. Oh and while you're at it, remove and clean the interior of the coolant reservoir and remount it before you replace the antifreeze.
Done. Happy motoring.

If you are talking about the low coolant light then it is just low of coolant. Add coolant to the recovery tank. If you are talking about the coolant temperature light, then the engine is overheating. You may need to have the cooling system serviced. Drain the coolant and flush the system. Install a new thermostat, and add a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water.
