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.

The light comes on if the engine coolant temperature is high , the engine oil pressure is low , or ( the fuel gauge is at or near empty )
