are you talking about the engine coolant light?
Probably a faulty sensor. Happens all the time. You'll have to replace the whole reservoir to fix the issue

Or ignore it. Or pull the connector.

Or (my favorite) if a passenger notices it, tell them it's a pictogram of a merry-go-round, and the car wants you to find an amusement park.

That is so funny. You made my day...ha, ha!

Anyway, what was said already, mine lights up when the speed goes over 60 mph, and goes out when it goes down. I just ignore it and let it be.

It also looks like that to me, too. But telling a passenger that the car wants us to emancipate the slaves doesn't quite get the reaction as amusement park.
