What does this Chevrolet Cavalier dash light mean?

I recently bought a used 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier and earlier today, a light on the dashboard turned on that looks sort of like a box containing a small amount of water and a downward-pointing arrow. What does this Chevrolet Cavalier dash light mean?

Great question about your
Chevrolet Cavalier
dash lights! From your description, it sounds like you’re talking about the Low Coolant Warning Light on your Cavalier’s dashboard. If this light comes on while you’re driving, your engine is low on coolant.
Whenever this light comes on, you’ll know you need to add coolant to your vehicle’s engine or risk it overheating—if you ignore the light and the engine overheats, it can result in serious damage and costly repairs.
To avoid potentially damaging your vehicle in the future, we recommend brushing up on what all your dash lights mean—this can be done by consulting your Chevrolet Cavalier owner’s manual.
Knowing what all the lights on your dash mean is key to keeping your Chevrolet working properly—make sure you protect your vehicle even further with the right insurance policy using
