If your asking this question its probably a good idea that you bring it into the shop to have the levels checked. DO NOT try to check your own coolant when the engine is still hot, this will send coolant bursting into the air. This is if you have any lol. Check your cars temperature gauge while your drive, if its starts getting warmer than normal then you need a cooland change.

If you are talking about the low coolant light then it is just low of coolant. If you are talking about the coolant temperature light, then the engine is overheating. This car is 7 years old. 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.
