I believe that is a low coolant light. I know on most cars it looks like a little square radiator with a plug on top.

That means your Sc is going to self destruct, if you continue to drive it. Looking at the Owners manual don't see any symbols on the top left. Only symbols in this area are replace rear bulb and low washer fluid.

White93SC - First pull the Diagnostic Trouble Code(s). You can search for how to do that on the Forum. The easiest way is to jump two of the connectors, TE1 and E1 a.k.a. T subE1 and E sub 1, under the hood (rectangular cap on large harness at the front of the intake manifold on the SC300), turn on the ignition and count the flashes of the indicator at the bottom left (CEL). Post the DTC here and someone will probably be better able to help. Until this is fixed, DO NOT DRIVE the car!
