The light is illuminated because the ECU has picked up a fault on the engine management system, and has stored a fault code. You need to diagnose & rectify the fault for the light to be extinguished.

Why do the engine warning lights come on when the car is off?

By "OFF," I have to assume that your question means that the ignition switch is "ON", but the engine is not running. IF that is what your question means, then the reason the engine warning lights turning on is that the manufacturer designed the system that way to show you that those warning circuits and lights are working, and ready to warn you after you start the engine, should there be a failure in one of the systems they represent.

Why does hazard warning light stay illuminated?

Hazard warning lights may stay illuminated due to a malfunction in the vehicle's electrical system, such as a faulty switch or wiring issue. Additionally, if the vehicle's battery is low or there is a problem with the alternator, it can cause the lights to remain on. In some cases, they may stay lit if the ignition is left on without the engine running. Checking the vehicle's manual or consulting a mechanic can help diagnose the specific issue.
