Is this light bad?

I got this light once while driving my car with no bumper:

What is it?

I think that is your coolant light, but I could be mistaken. Look in your drivers manual, it knows EVERYTHING.

thats the lincoln memorial- look at the back of a penny. its telling you your coolant is a little low. go put coolant in. and dont come back here saying "i checked the coolant and the level is fine" because it isnt. add a half a quart or so and the light will go off

The coolant light. Zoom is right, looks like a building/memorial of sorts.
Did it go away after you put the bumper back on? Or is it still on.

Well i pulled over to the side of the road and it went away in 5 seconds. Then it never came back. I also see it a lot when just starting up my car.

Check your levels, add (which I am suspecting you have to, it must be quite low..) and put your bumper back on!

that light obviously means your parrot is escaping. -nods decisively.-
