Sorry for the terrible picture, my paint skills aren't the best...he he

Anyways, my sister called me today and said this light came on, on the dash of her 2000 Cavi. Can somebody tell me what this means? Thanks

YA thats it. mine came on today too, I just bought some of the premixed anti-freeze from Canadian Tire. Yes the orange stuff is long gone. I think I might have a slow leak in one of my hoses. The light would come on when I made a tight turn but would turn off after a couple of seconds but then one day it just stayed on. I would check her hoses too. That coolant had to go somewhere. The only time I know you should lose coolant is if it's overfilled and it boils over. Other than that it's leaking somewhere. One thing I'm going to check is my spark plugs, if they have a white powder on then it means your burning coolant(VERY BAD).

As stated it is the low coolant light. After the engine has cooled look at the dex cool level in your overflow. If it is full it could be possable that the coolant level sensor is bad.
