service reminder light · maintenance required light · oil life light
A mileage or time-based maintenance reminder (usually a wrench icon), not a fault - it just means scheduled service, most commonly an oil change, is due soon.
Book the next scheduled service, typically an oil and filter change. Many cars let you reset this light yourself after the service, or the shop will reset it for you.
Yes, this is a scheduling reminder rather than a warning of an active problem, but do not push oil changes too far past the interval.
