What is the blue coolant light mean?
automotive manufactures are now using lights instead of gauges to save money and make it more user friendly. Blue coolant light in the instrument cluster means that the engine coolant temperature is still not at the normal operating temperature (cold). Normally happens at cold start (when you first the car up in the morning for example) It will turn off once the coolant temperature reaches normal operating temperature. Note: if the coolant light turns red, it means your engine is over heating and you should turn it off before you cause more damage.

Which light informs you when the coolant in the engine is too hot or too low?
Varies by vehicle. An older vehicle, it might just be a coolant temperature gauge, or some might have a small light on the gauge to get your attention which is triggered by that gauge peaking.On current medium- and heavy duty vehicles, where the engine will shut down to prevent damage from overheating, the red engine shutdown light will come on, and this might be accompanied by a specific coolant level light in the instance where it's due to low coolant. This is also typically accompanied by an audible alarm and an in-dash display which will show a message such as "low coolant level".That would be two separate warning lights on some vehicles. One for the engine coolant temp being too hot and the other would be for engine coolant level is low.
