I'll have to dig out my manual to be sure, but off the top of my head I think it means the washer fluid is low.

Its the low coolant light. Mine stayed on for 2 years. Didn't have radiator problem tell just 3 weeks ago. Replaced radiator (150 bucks) and the 'low coolant sensor' (the sensor was 55 bucks ). As long as your not low on coolant, your cool, the senor prolly went out.
